Nicole
Registered Veterinary Technician / Hospital Manager
Nicole always felt drawn to animals and dreamed of one day being able to work with them for a living. Once her children were old enough, she decided to take a leap of faith and follow her dream, going back to school to become a registered veterinary technician.
Nicole joined the Terra Linda Veterinary Hospital team in October of 2023 and has quickly become an integral and much-loved part of the crew! In her dual role as RVT and Hospital Manager, she enjoys meeting new people and being a voice for pets in need.
Outside of the clinic, Nicole is happily married with two grown children and three furry kids, including a pug named Lola, and two cocker spaniels named Lady Lilith Marie, and Sir Budrick. In her spare time, you can usually find Nicole camping with her husband and the dogs.
Andrea
Client Service Representative
Ever since Andrea can remember, she’s been passionate about animal welfare. Whether it was putting out food for the neighborhood stray cats or providing them with a makeshift shelter to help protect them from the outside elements, even as a young child, Andrea would do whatever she could to help them. As a CSR here at Terra Linda, Andrea is passionate about being the voice for our furry companions!
Prior to entering the veterinary field, Andrea spent several years in the hospitality industry. Deep down, she always knew that her passion was in animal care. To facilitate her career transition and gain some hands-on experience, Andrea began volunteering for various organizations (SF SPCA, Paws/LA, Beagles and Buddies). In 2011, she finally landed an opportunity working the front desk at a veterinary hospital and has been in a client service role ever since.
Andrea joined the TLVH team in March of 2015 after she and her husband relocated to Marin County from Los Angeles. The thing that Andrea enjoys most about her job is getting to know the clients and their pets and being a part of their special bond. She also appreciates the opportunity to educate clients on how to provide the best possible care for their furry family members.
Outside of work, Andrea enjoys running, hiking, traveling, and spending time with friends.
Andy
Client Services Representative / Veterinary Assistant
In 2022, Andy was working as a preschool teacher when she began to feel like it wasn’t the right path for her. So, being a natural problem-solver, she sat down, made a list of pros and cons, and realized the veterinary industry would be a better fit. She found a position within one week and hasn’t looked back since!
When she’s not at work, you can usually find Andy in the garden tending to her vegetables. She also enjoys hiking and riding horses.
Melissa
Veterinary Assistant
Melissa has been around animals all her life, from dogs and cats to birds and more. She knew at a very young age that she wanted to work with animals when she grew up. As a veterinary assistant here at Terra Linda Veterinary Hospital, Melissa is living her lifelong dream and couldn’t be happier!
Melissa graduated in 2022 with her associate’s degree in veterinary technology. Shortly thereafter, she joined the Terra Linda team. Professionally, Melissa has a special interest in dental cleanings and is passionate about providing the best care possible for our patients.
Outside of work, Melissa is dog-mom to three sweet pooches, including Pancho, a senior Chihuahua, and his offspring, Mona and Beastie. In her spare time, Melissa enjoys reading, being outdoors, swimming, and playing with her dogs.
