Vanya Medina, Veterinary Assistant
Vanya Medina (she/her) joined the team at our veterinary hospital on May 27, 2025, bringing with her a deep-rooted passion for animal care that began in childhood. Born in Hillsborough and raised in Ecuador, Vanya spent much of her early life helping her family care for both farm animals and pets—an experience that sparked her lifelong interest in working with animals.
Currently enrolled at Liberty University and pursuing a degree in Zoology (Class of 2027), Vanya is dedicated to expanding her knowledge and skills in the field of animal science. As an assistant on our team, she brings both compassion and curiosity to her work every day.
At home, Vanya shares her life with two beloved cats: Bonzai, a 5-year-old tuxedo cat, and Nalah, a 4-year-old American Wirehair. Each has a unique personality, and they keep her entertained with their antics.
Outside of work and school, Vanya enjoys staying active by playing basketball and going for walks. She also loves spending quality time with friends and family—and has a talent for baking. Brownies are her specialty!
