Mandi Florea

Veterinary Technician

I was born and raised in Colorado Springs CO. I graduated from CAVT in December of 2019 in Veterinary studies. I'm a huge goofball and I love all things outdoors. I am a huge fan of exotics. I own 1 boa constrictor and 3 tarantulas. Animals are my main passion in life. I got into veterinary medicine because ever since I was a small child child I was bringing home sick animals to nurse them back to health.

Boots

Nap Superviser

The hospital nap supervisor is also a professional lap warmer and paper weight. His interests range from sleeping on computers to people watching, or is that, sleeping on people and computer watching. Either way Boots is a great teammate and purrrfect helper around the clinic!

Hey y’all! My name is Aspen and I was born and raised on a ranch in Wyoming. I am a lover of all animals.

I want to be a veterinarian someday as it has been a dream of mine for a long time. I own two pit bulls named Ellie and Nova and a cat named Mr. Wiggles, all of which are very spoiled and loved.
