DEVIN,
REGISTERED VETERINARY TECHNICIAN
Fear Free Certified Professional.
Devin joined the veterinary field after completing his 2-year program in Veterinary Technology at Tri-C. He was drawn to the veterinary profession due to his love of animals, and a conversation he had with his brother, who told him that he would be a good fit for the field. After graduating from the program and starting in the field, he’s glad he took the advice.
Devin loves going on nature walks with his dog, Shiva. He joined the SHAH team because he had previously externed with them and enjoyed working with the team.
A fun fact about Devin is that he knows how to juggle, which he says is not the most useful skill in his profession but it’s fun at parties.

TIFFANY,
Veterinary Assistant
Fear Free Certified Professional.
Tiffany has worked in veterinary medicine since February 2021, starting out at a small animal practice in Lake County where she resides. She started working with animals in 2016 as a bather for a local grooming salon where she learned how to groom. An opportunity came along and she became the Team Lead at a doggie daycare which was very rewarding and helped her get a good grasp on dog behavior. Shortly after COVID, another great opportunity arose to start her career in veterinary medicine where she learned everything she could and really honed her assistant skills. Unfortunately, after working there for 4 years, the sole owner/veterinarian was forced to close the practice, which is how she ended up at SHAH. It was a great opportunity to expand her skills and the environment at SHAH felt like a perfect fit.
Tiffany spends her spare time at home with her daughter and husband. She has two senior pit bulls (Bo and Fiona) and a Chihuahua/Pug named Bean who thinks she runs the house. She also has two red slider turtles named Peaches and Honey Buns along with a pie bald ball python named Penny. Needless to say it is never a dull moment in her home. It has always been a dream of hers to have multiple pets because she did not grow up with pets, and she has had a strong connection with animals for as long as she can remember.
Tiffany enjoys taking her time to get to know her patients and clients. She prides herself on the patience and empathy she carries to help even the most nervous of patients. She looks forward to continuing to grow in this area of veterinary medicine as she feels it is such a vital part of making a trip to the vet stress-free.
