Christina

Veterinary Assistant

Christina started with OVVC in October of 2016. Christina has been a client of OVVC since it opened and thought it would be rather interesting to join the team. She worked at a Salem area veterinary clinic during high school so it was an easy transition. Stepping in as a Veterinary Assistant, Animal Caretaker, Receptionist, or any other position needed. Christina is a professional dog handler and a Rottweiler breeder under the name 2Infintiy. She enjoys training, showing and loving her pack of rottweilers (Ozzie, Xander, You Know, I Know, Right, Eleanor, Hush, Porter, and SWAT) and the random french bulldog (Decaf).
