Veronica

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Veronica is a vivacious, big-hearted Licensed Veterinary Technician who has been loving and caring for pets since 2009. She’s known she wanted to work with animals since she was just five years old—and with plenty of encouragement from her family, she followed that dream straight into veterinary medicine. Veronica truly believes this is the calling God placed on her heart. In 2022, Dr. Leas asked Veronica to join the Muirfield Animal Hospital team, and she couldn’t say “yes!” fast enough. She loves what she does and considers her MAH team a part of her extended family.

Veronica and her husband call Columbus home, where they’re raising their beautiful family of four—including two sweet (and very sassy!) daughters. While they dream of adding a non-shedding pup someday (a Cavapoo is high on the wish list), they currently enjoy pet-sitting dogs and cats and treating them like honorary family members.

A proud Thomas Worthington High School grad—Go Cardinals!—Veronica went on to complete the Veterinary Technician Program at Columbus State and also earned a one-year Certificate in Biblical Studies from Zion Bible College. Veronica is passionate about continuing to grow as a vet tech, especially when it comes to capturing top-notch radiographs. Her love for the profession also shines through on social media—she’s a natural at showcasing the amazing pets we care for and the teamwork that makes MAH so special.

One of Veronica’s greatest joys is building lifelong relationships with pets and their families, from puppy and kitten visits through every stage of life. Being trusted to care for them—even through the most difficult moments—is deeply meaningful to her.

When she’s not caring for patients or her family, you’ll likely find Veronica working out, trying new foods, hunting down the best ice cream flavors, or enjoying some self-care with facials and fresh nails. She also loves spending time with her girlfriends and staying connected through church and women’s Bible study. Looking for a good deal or a coupon? Just ask Veronica—she loves helping people save almost as much as she loves her patients!

Fun fact: Veronica is always on the hunt for the best ice cream flavors and loves trying new ones whenever she can!
