Trish graduated with a BBA from Saint Joseph’s College in 1992. She worked in advertising for a time and realized it was not fulfilling enough. Animals truly were her passion and she decided to focus on a career that was challenging, and rewarding, and allowed her to be around animals too! She started working as a Veterinary Assistant in 1997 locally and learned her animal nursing skills through on-the-job training.

Trish has been working at Michigan Road Animal Hospital since 2004 when she began working at our 'sister' hospital (now known as Michigan Road Animal Hospital at Crooked Creek) on Michigan Road. She and a number of other team members then moved into this hospital when it was built in 2008. She is currently the Team Lead of our Patient Care Team - comprised of our Registered Veterinary Technicians and our Veterinary Assistants.

She and her husband Dave have two children, Sam & Ella. Their family has a few critters of course, too! They have Jette, their bouncy black lab, Bobby their Siberian Cat, and Mila Mae their sweet Domestic Longhaired cat that completes their family.
