Zach

Technician

Hey there, I’m Zach! I have been a Veterinary Technician at Port Salerno Animal Hospital since June 2023 but proudly caring for animals in the Treasure Coast since 2021. My journey took me from human medicine, guided by a desire to help, to the world of animal care.

With a High School Diploma and a Certified Nursing Assistant Certification, I found my true calling in the veterinary field. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I wanted to extend my compassion to them.

My career change was driven by a simple aspiration: to make a positive impact on animals’ lives. In my personal life, I cherish my family—my parents Jen and James, a caring brother, my husband Louis, and my mom Pam, who brings love to our family gatherings.

At home, the joy multiplies with Max, my energetic Cocker Spaniel, and my two charming domestic shorthair cats, Kimchi and Happy.

I’ve found my purpose in caring for animals, and I’m honored to contribute to their well-being every day.
