Office Manager

Naomi

Naomi was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She moved to Las Vegas in 2021 for a new beginning and the warm, sunny climate. She has been in veterinary medicine for 20 years and she has been in practice management for the last eight.

Growing up, Naomi was not around animals due to her mother’s allergies, so she was always very excited whenever she saw animals. Naomi prefers to work with dogs and cats, however she is “terrified of birds.” She especially loves small dogs with big attitudes and dogs with cute “smush faces”. She has two pets, Iggy and CoCo- 2 pomchons (Pomeranian/bichon fries mixes) who are 14 years old that she has had since they were eight weeks old.

Before entering the veterinary field, Naomi worked in the construction field and would pass by a Humane Society every day to work. She began to volunteer there and started with rehabilitation for feral and aggressive animals who were deemed unfit for adoption. After lots of love and patience, every single pet in the program found a forever home. Naomi knew then that veterinary medicine was her calling and fell in love with the field. Naomi strives for excellence and to be better tomorrow then she was today. She works to be the voice and advocate for our furry friends, especially when they need us the most.

Outside of caring for animals, Naomi enjoys the outdoors, especially hiking and fishing. She also makes soaps and sugars scrubs. She looks forward to continuing to explore Las Vegas and feeling more at home in the city.
