Ari — Veterinary Assistant

Ari joined VNIoC in early 2025. The Maryland native previously worked at a pet hospital, beginning as a receptionist, and then being cross-trained as a veterinary assistant.

“I’m happiest when I’m learning, and VNIoC gives me a great opportunity to learn and further develop my skills,” says Ari. “It's such a great team here and so different from GP care. I'm excited to get into the ICU and OR later.”

When not at work, Ari loves to play video games, try different cuisines and is looking to expand her baking skills–something her coworkers will appreciate!
