Our Veterinary Technician Assistant Staff

Selise

Selise is the Group Play Coordinator.  She was born and raised in Houston, Texas.  She is one of five siblings. She is excited about her new baby that should be joining us this Summer and she is already a bonus Mom to her a little girl, and a dog mom to 3 puppies.  She has always had a passion for animals and feels like she can always be helpful in someway. She has always wanted to work in the Veterinary Field to  be able to learn about animals and help them. She has an extensive resume that includes rescue groups, pet stores, and many other animal facilities.  Outside of work, she spends most of her time with her family.  They are often having game and movie nights. She enjoys shopping and traveling as well. In the future, she hopes to open a rescue for special needs animals, or an exotic pet store. At work, she spends most of her time exercising and socializing her pets.  She loves playing with new toys, water, and  the agility equipment with her pet friends.  Outside of the group play time, she enjoys helping and shadowing our Doctors and Technicians so she can learn.

Emily

Emily enjoys interacting with the clients, she is always the first one to greet you at the door. She balances her free time between taking care of her rescued kitten, Athena, going to school to study Law and painting!  Emily plans to one day become a lawyer and do pro bono cases for those in need.

Kaila

Kaila is from Houston, Texas, and has spent most of her life growing up around the Friendswood area. She comes from a big family as one of five siblings and shares a special bond with her twin. At home, she is also surrounded by plenty of furry family members—her four dogs, Tip Toe, Socks, Dallas, and Jillian, and her cat, Mac.

Kaila has loved animals for as long as she can remember and always knew she wanted a career where she could work with them. She recently graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Her love for animals has always extended beyond just the pets we see every day, and she has dreamed of one day caring for larger animals, especially cattle and horses.

As she begins her career in veterinary medicine, Kaila is excited to explore the many different paths the field has to offer and gain experience in a variety of areas. She is especially interested in veterinary research, including urban diseases and finding ways to prevent illnesses through better, proactive care. She is excited to continue learning, discover where her passion takes her, and grow as part of the Deer Park Animal Hospital team.
