Erika is a Southern California native. After studying at Moorpark College and UC Santa Barbara, majoring in Marine Biology, she ultimately decided that Veterinary Technology was to be her career. Erika graduated from Los Angeles Pierce College in 2004, received her RVT license in February 2005, and has worked for Westlake Village Animal Hospital for more than 6 years. When not spending time with her rescued dog "Bryce" and cat "Sashi", you can find her either at the beach, snowboarding…or planning her next traveling adventure!
