Hi, my name is Stephani and I’ve been with Animal Hospital of Maple Valley since April 2019. I’ve always had a passion for all animals large and small; and knew at a young age that I wanted to work with animals. I received my certificate of Veterinarian Assistant at PIMA Institute with goals of furthering my education in the future. In my free time I like read, listen to music, crafting, and spending time outdoors and with family. I have a 14 year old calico named Piper and a sweet/feisty miniature pinscher named Roxi.

My name is Haley I have been in the veterinary field since 2018 but my love for animals started as young as 2 with my first cat Tigger. I worked for a rabbit rescue from age 11-18, I then started as a Kennel assistant at a practice in Enumclaw. I started my assistant classes at PIMA but things didn’t work out because halfway through my program I had my son. Being determined to work with animals I went back to school online and graduated as a certified veterinary assistant and certified in animal nutrition. I did my externship with Animal Hospital of Maple Valley and hired on from there.  Wanting to help the troubled ones, I went back to school to become a dog trainer, soon I will be going back again to become a canine behaviorist. I have 2 dogs, a Husky Malamute mix named Kenai and a Husky Border Collie mix rescue named Mister, I also have 2 cats Ashley and Lola. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and Hiking.
