Alex has worked in Veterinary Medicine  since August of 2019. She is originally from Florida, but has called Connecticut home for over 20 years. Alex has had a passion for animals, horses in particular, since she was a young child, and she began riding at a young age.  Her interest in horses and animals moved her to follow a career path for animal husbandry, behavior and training. She has focused on veterinary technology, laboratory procedures and especially canine reproduction, where the procedures and science behind it were of keen interest to her.  Alex spends her free time at a local barn where she rides dressage; grooms horses; and assists training young competition horses. She currently has two pets; a cat named Indiana Jones and a black lab mix named Chewy.
