Michelle Reid-Rossi
With over 20+ years of equine and tech experience, Michelle Reid Rossi first came to SLREH in 2012 when her horse Cowboy had an ileal impaction of bermuda hay. Then in January of 2014, she came back as a foal sitter and, not being able to stay away from us, is now one of our greatest techs. She's a hard one to miss with her fiery red hair, huge smile, and even bigger heart for the patients.
Prior to SLREH, she did her internship at the Saratoga Racetrack and worked at Northampton Animal Hospital in upstate New York for 20 years before relocating to California. In addition, she has two years of avian and exotic experience.
