After moving to Oregon for two years, Alyssa relocated back to Northwest Arkansas and has been employed at AVS since that time. She resides with her fiance, Evan, and their three fur babies, Emma, Billy, and Fuse.
Combined with her love and appreciation for animals, her previous work experiences in customer service have provided a strong foundation to gain and learn new skills through taking the initiative to gain the knowledge needed to work in the field of animal care as a veterinary receptionist.
When she is not working, you can find her spending time with Evan, playing video games, and cuddling with her furry tails.
Jessie

Jessie was raised around animals and knew she wanted to work with them as an adult. This led her to enroll in college, which she continued for 4 years earning a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. In her free time, she enjoys time with her family (human and fur babies alike), outdoor activities, and just relaxing in between daily chores.
