Marissa

Surgery Technician – Marissa  is an experienced Veterinary Technician and member of the Surgery Team with nine years of experience in veterinary medicine. She has always had a deep love for animals and a strong desire to help those in need, which led her to pursue a hands-on career dedicated to patient care and advocacy.

Marissa received her training through extensive clinical, hands-on experience in veterinary hospitals, where she worked closely with veterinarians and technicians to develop strong technical and patient-care skills. She is most passionate about surgery and anesthesia, with a focus on ensuring patient comfort, safety, and high-quality care before, during, and after procedures.

Her expertise includes surgical assisting, anesthesia monitoring, and working efficiently as part of a surgery team. Marissa values teamwork and client trust, believing that clear communication and compassionate care are just as important as technical skill.

At home, Marissa is a proud cat mom to two rescued cats, Oliver (orange tabby) and Rupert (white and gray), both former strays who now enjoy spoiled indoor lives.

Outside of work, Marissa’s life revolves around her three daughters. She enjoys spending time with her family, going to church, cheering on her kids at their games, and—when time allows—doing a little shopping.
