Marina was born and raised in Illinois. In 2014, she moved to Colorado and fell in love with this state. About 4 years ago, she was looking for a change in careers and decided to go back to school. She received her Associate's degree and then completed the Veterinary Technician Program. She has worked in the field of veterinary medicine ever since, and has found a special interest in surgery and anesthesia. Animals have always had a special place in her heart, and she loves being able to work with them and help them every day! Outside of work, she enjoys baking, yoga, being outdoors, and most importantly, cuddling her animals!
