Masha

Veterinary Assistant

Masha joined our team as a Veterinary Assistant in March 2026, bringing her hands-on approach, eagerness to learn, and deep dedication to animal care. She is a firm believer in teamwork and is always looking for ways to support her fellow staff members while providing the absolute best care to our patients. Masha’s commitment to ongoing education and improvement, and her transparent approach, make her a wonderful addition to our team. 

Drawn to the veterinary field by the constant opportunities to discover new things, Masha loves that this work keeps her on her toes. She joined our team to expand her knowledge alongside a supportive group of professionals, and she hopes to eventually grow into a tech assistant role. “I enjoy helping animals and learning more about each of them,” Masha shared. “I like working alongside other coworkers and learning new things from them.” Her calm, empathetic nature is evident in the comfort and care she gives to pets and their families.

Education

Home Life

When she is not at the hospital helping pets feel their best, Masha enjoys running and unwinding with a great book. She shares her home with her wonderful Domestic Shorthair cat, Daisy, who has a big personality and knows exactly what she wants, when she wants it!
