Mariana, Lead Receptionist and Veterinary Technician (picture coming soon)
Mariana joined our team as lead receptionist in 2021. And “lead” truly speaks to the team leader that she is! You can find her everywhere in the clinic always providing a helping hand and training our employees in both veterinary care and receptionist duties.
What Mariana loves about her job is that it combines two of her passions: teaching and animals. Not only does she enjoy educating her coworkers, but she loves educating the clients and providing each and every one with accurate pet care knowledge.
In her spare time, Mariana loves to relax at home with her son and watch horror movies and anime, as well as play video games!

Victoria, Veterinary Technician
Victoria has always loved and had a strong passion for animals ever since she was little. However, growing up she wasn’t allowed to have pets. This love is what led her heart to wanting to be a veterinarian, where she could be around animals each and every day. Her senior year of high school, she applied and was accepted into the Animal Science bachelor degree program at Cal Poly Pomona and graduated in May 2020. During her time in college, she began gaining experience as a kennel attendant where she was able to help provide her Hispanic community with wonderful veterinary care.
Victoria’s favorite part about being a vet tech is seeing the pets that once came into her hands sick, return to her happy and healthy. She also loves working with her fellow vet tech team, Dr. Miles, Dr, Liu and coworkers.
Victoria is a reptile mom to her two crested geckos Domingo and Zero and a blue-tongued skink named Namu. While Domingo and Zero are very independent, they both will do anything for food! And you can always find Namu relaxing and sleeping!
Victoria is one of our extremely talented artists on staff! In her free time, she loves to express that artistic side with drawing and painting. While at home, she also loves to relax with a good book and watching animes and Kdramas

Gisselle, Kennel Attendant
Gisselle is one of our wonderful kennel attendants who dreams of becoming a certified Vet Tech! She has always had a love and passion for animals ever since she was little, and has always known she wanted to work with animals! She is currently attending Santa Ana College studying towards an AA in Journalism and is a graduate of Saddleback High School!
Gisselle’s favorite part about working at VPAC is the bonds she has created with her coworkers and Doctors as well as the ability to learn and grow in the positions! Her biggest inspirations are her pets Aria, Penny, Benji, and Max. Aria is her extremely sweet 5 year old Shih Tzu and Penny is a 9 year old Pom mix mama of 6! Benji is her 2 year old husky/corgi mix, and while he can be a bit shy, he always loves being sweet and cutesy with his mom! And Max is her extremely curious 1 year old Yorkie who loves to fill the house with his singing (aka barking)!
When not in the clinic, you can find Gisselle skateboarding or roller skating around town and to her favorite thrift stores! And when at home she loves to spend her time making jewelry, playing bass, and doodling.
