Starting as a kennel technician, she has worked her way through nearly every clinic role, gaining invaluable experience along the way. Originally from Louisiana, Chloe shares her life with two energetic dogs—Halen, a 2-year-old rescued lab mix, and Kiba, a 3-year-old Dalmatian with a unique twist: her spots are brown instead of the typical black! In her downtime, Chloe enjoys cooking, spending time with loved ones, and discovering new recipes. She’s the oldest of three siblings, and her caring, driven personality shines both in and out of the clinic.
