Gabby
Veterinary Assistant
Working with animals has been something I have wanted to pursue my entire life. About a year and a half ago, I was given the opportunity to start that journey at Banfield Burlingame in Portland, OR! I recently moved to Eugene, OR in July and continued my pursuit to find a job where I could once again do what I love. I was lucky enough to come across Wilvet South and have been so grateful for everyone here being so warm and welcoming. Every day is different but the family here stays the same. I can’t wait to see what else Wilvet has in store for me!
Sonia
Veterinary Assistant
Sonia joined the Wilvet team in May 2023 as a Saturday ER nurse. She’s worked in general practice vet med for over 3 years and wanted to further her education with emergency care. Sonia is also enrolled in the veterinary nurse certification program through Penn Foster. In her spare time Sonia loves to read, watch movies, scroll TikTok, travel, and try new restaurants with her soon to be husband, Troy. Sonia also enjoys spending time with her 6 cats of which she has 3 with fur and 3 hairless!
Shannon
Shannon has endless motivation for working with animals of all kinds from fur, feathers and fetlocks, dating back to when she was young. She entered the world of vet med in 2017 with her history based in general practice. Emergency medicine called her name in 2021 and she hasn’t looked back. Outside of the hospital she works as a Certified Dog Trainer, having graduated from the Victoria Stilwell Academy for positive training with a specialization in behavioral modification. She is Fear-Free Certified and has obtained a certificate in Pet Psychology, which she utilizes in her work both as a vet nurse and trainer. In her spare time Shannon can be found outdoors camping, hiking or kayaking with her two rescue herding mixes, Quest and Riften. Otherwise, she enjoys video games, photography, escaping into a fantasy book, writing and drawing
Tasha
Tasha was born and raised in Oregon. Her career as a general practice Veterinary Assistant began in 2012, shortly after graduating from high school. She graduated from Penn Foster College, obtaining her CVT in 2020. Tasha joined the WilVet South team in May 2023. She has 2 dogs (a terrier mix and a Golden Retriever), 3 cats (2 Burmese and 1 orange tabby), 2 chickens, and various tropical fish.

Cassie
CVT
Cassie was born and raised in the beautiful Napa Valley, California where she first fell in love with veterinary medicine. She has always had a passion for animals and remembers being drawn to any animal she came across. Cassie became an RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician) in September of 2023 and just transferred her licensure to CVT (Certified Veterinary Technician) in Oregon. She moved to Oregon in October of 2023 and joined the Wilvet South team as a Veterinary Nurse, now CVT. She finds herself at home in the world of veterinary medicine because it combines her love for animals and passion for biology and medicine.
Cassie shares her home with her three cats, Tiki, Parsnip and Stevie. She loves exploring her new home in Oregon and spending time in the beautiful nature it has to offer.
