Marlise Alvarez may have been born to be a veterinary nurse. Her love for animals, experience caring for them, and education in the field are huge.
During an externship at the Animal Recreation and Rehabilitation Center, Marlise studied rehab, acupuncture, underwater therapy, cold laser therapy, and more. She’s well versed in everything from pharmacology to the unique treatments of both large animals and exotics. And as if all that isn’t enough, Marlise has five pets of her own.
Marlise loves VCCC because she gets to see cute patients every day and help prolong their lives. Marlise has a great sense of humor, a big heart, and a sense of adventure—always open to trying something new. At home you’ll find Marlise drawing, listening to music of all types, gardening, and of course playing with Remy, Mojo, and Stella, her dogs, and her cats Zebra and Astrid.
