Nicole has been in the veterinary field for 3 years and with River Forest Animal Hospital for 1 year.  She was born in Melbourne, FL and moved to the Chicagoland area as a child with her family.  She has always enjoyed working with animals, as she has grown up with them her entire life.  She has reptiles, birds, cats, and dogs.  Working in the veterinary field has been a dream come true.  

Nicole's philosophy has always been “Adopt Don't Shop”.  Her dream come true would be for all the animal shelters to one day be empty
