Senior Manager

Merlinda had a childhood dream of working with animals. She entered the veterinary field in 2010, thanks to her good friend and registered veterinary technician, Lily. As she built and expanded her experience in this field from receptionist to veterinary technician, to training staff, to practice manager of ten years, she has expanded and cross-trained many professionals in this industry. She is excited to be a part of Animal Care Hospital of Walnut Creek’s team and work alongside some amazingly talented individuals. When not working, she enjoys hiking, traveling, and exploring different cuisines around the Bay Area. She also has a passion for the beauty industry and is a licensed manicurist and loves spending time with family and friends.
