Alexya joins us as a veterinary assistant, and her recent love for veterinary medicine began in 2022 when her own dog’s health issues worsened, resulting in rapid vision loss. Wanting to learn more about her 14-year-old silky terrier’s condition is what led her to PIMA medical and, ultimately, FPAC. Alexya lives with her two cats, Hercules and Whiskey, and dog, Sissy. In her free time, she enjoys reading mystery books and watching documentaries- especially true crime and mystery.
