On Barbara’s fourteenth birthday, her mother gave her a German shepherd puppy, whom she named Sola. The bond between the two was instant and inseparable. Sola would even go to Barbara’s high school to pick her up every day. This special relationship between a girl and her loyal canine companion would ultimately influence Barbara’s desire to one day work in the veterinary industry.
Barbara’s journey began as a receptionist at a different vet clinic where her daughter was working at the time. After spending a decade there, she decided to join both of her daughters at Marina Village Veterinary in July of 2022. As part of our client relations team, Barbara takes great pride in helping our clients and loves playing a role in the health and happiness of their beloved pets.
Outside of work, Barbara has three human children and two fur babies: a cat named Roo who sits and gives high-fives, and a Doberman named Misha who loves to chase the laser light. In her spare time, Barbara enjoys gardening and shopping for antiques.
