Nicole

Customer Service Representative and Veterinary Assistant

Meet Nicole, one of the friendly faces you’ll see at the front desk or helping out in the exam room! A proud Colorado native, Nicole grew up surrounded by mountain views and four-legged friends—but ironically, she can’t have pets of her own right now (we know, it’s tragic). Luckily, she gets her daily dose of furry companionship here at the clinic, and we’re pretty sure the pets love her just as much as she loves them.

Nicole is currently studying human nursing, and she’s found working in the veterinary world to be both eye-opening and incredibly rewarding. From comforting nervous pets to supporting their humans, she’s all about making sure everyone feels welcome, informed, and cared for.

When she’s not at work or hitting the books, Nicole loves soaking up Denver’s vibrant music scene—whether it’s a local band at a dive bar or a big-name show at Red Rocks, she’s always up for a good beat.

Fun, compassionate, and always ready with a smile, Nicole helps make every visit to our clinic a little brighter.
