Barbara knew from a young age that she wanted to spend her life working with animals. She was an active volunteer through her school years and into adulthood, eventually fostering cats and dogs. She attended Saint Mary’s University earning a Bachelor’s degree and then her Veterinary Assistant degree at Eastern College in 2018. She is happy to become a part of the TVH family and loves the supportive, family-like atmosphere nurtured here. In her spare time, she likes to hike with her daughter and her dog Kodiak. She also enjoys baking yummy treats for both humans and dogs, as well as creating dog and cat bows and bandanas on her sewing machine.
