Meet Lupita! 😁
Lupita joined Chico Animal Hospital first as a client before joining the team as a kennel assistant in February 2022. Lupita is currently a first-year student in the veterinary technology program at Yuba College and hopes to gain her RVT license after completing the program and national exam. “What I look forward to the most when becoming an RVT is sharing all the knowledge I will obtain with those around me. I want to be as helpful as I can whenever anyone has any questions about their pets.”
Lupita was inspired to join the veterinary field after participating in animal care internships, volunteering at a nonprofit that rehabilitated wildlife and raising livestock. Lupita’s goal is to always learn as much as she can so that she is able to take that knowledge and experience wherever she goes. Her favorite part about working with animals is creating a healthy bond with them and getting to learn their behaviors. “I have always loved animals ever since I was a child and as I get older, I appreciate each one more and more.”
Lupita has two Australian Cattle Dogs, Luna and Boone. They love to go on bike rides, swimming and play puzzle games that involve treats. Back home in Santa Barbara County, she has a barn cat named Pumpkin and a small herd of goats that she helps her family raise. In her free time, Lupita enjoys being outdoors with her dogs, spending time with people that she loves and going to farmer’s markets.”
