Office Manager

Erica

Erica is a native of Southern New Jersey and grew up near Cape May. She and her husband moved to the Las Vegas area earlier this year for her husband’s job at the Veteran Affairs hospital in North Las Vegas. Erica said that so far, she adores living in Las Vegas.

“We haven’t been able to do a lot on The Strip, but we’ve gone hiking, done the bike trails, just driving around and seeing the mountains is amazing,” she said. “Where I lived in Jersey, it’s very flat. I thought I wouldn’t like the desert, but it’s actually very beautiful.”

Growing up, Erica’s parents bred German Shepards and her mother also worked for a local veterinarian office. She said her parents handled several adult dogs, a couple of litters (kittens included), and a few cats by the time she was born. Erica joked that she “came last on the totem pole.” During her college years, Erica also had a couple of pet rats.

“I’m just a big animal lover in general, including snakes and spiders,” she said.

A self-described math nerd, Erica graduated from Liberty University with a degree in mathematics. Originally, Erica considered becoming a math teacher and even got her teaching certificate. She said she’s dabbled in a few things since graduating, but nothing felt like the right fit for her.

“I’m just a curious math nerd,” she said. “So I just like doing things I have to learn a lot about, and things that are challenging.”

Erica found her job at Lone Mountain Animal Hospital while working at the sister location, Craig Road Animal Hospital, as an administrative hospital assistant.

In her spare time, Erica likes to solve puzzles, whether it’s sudoku or regular puzzles. She also enjoys biking, hiking, and bowling. She has three cats named Aragorn, Gandalf, and Ziggy Stardust.
