Nancy Valdez
Nancy was born in Mexico and raised in Salinas, CA. As young as a year old, her mom knew she had a passion for animals because she would spend hours in her Grandmother’s farm chasing the chickens or the ducks were chasing her! She grew up with different animals: goats, pigs, horses, rabbits, birds, chickens, and has had many various pets throughout her life including a Chinchilla that has already crossed the Rainbow Bridge along with 5 other pets. Nancy has five dogs, a cat, and a Red Ear Slider Turtle, all of which she refers to as her “shell and fur babies”. She has a big heart for all species of animals and always feeds strays or helps even the smallest of insects. Nancy got her job at an animal hospital right after graduating from Central Coast College in 2019 as a Veterinary Assistant and worked there for five years, recently joining Aguajito Veterinary Hospital. She completed the VASE program in 2022 and is working on taking the VTNE to become an RVT. When not working, Nancy loves spending time with her Daughter and partner going on an adventure.
