Erika is a dedicated veterinary assistant with a deep love for animals, especially cats. Originally from California, she moved to Illinois in the spring of 2024 with her fiancé and their beloved 9-year-old tuxedo cat, Marco. Wanting Marco to have a companion, they adopted Charlie, and since then, Marco has become more active and fit. Now settled into their first home in Lombard, Erika is excited to be part of the local community.
Having always been passionate about animals, Erika is thrilled to join the Lombard Veterinary Hospital team. She has long heard glowing recommendations about LVH and is eager to contribute to the exceptional care provided. She has a special interest in veterinary rehabilitation and loves seeing pets make progress in their recovery.
Outside of work, Erika enjoys hiking, exploring the outdoors, and chatting with fellow pet lovers—especially about cats!
