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.

Alyison realized her love for veterinary medicine 8 years ago after a foster fail, and decided to make a change, switching up her daily work life from retail and non-profit work. Since then, she has worked in many additional aspects of the field, including assisting and managing, but has a special love of working closely with clients. Alyison joined the FPAC team at the end of 2020 and has contributed their countless skills greatly. In her free time, Alyison enjoys cooking and baking delicious goods, playing video games, and LOVES consuming all things drag!
