Daryl, Client Care Advocate, Receptionist

Daryl joined the HOVC team in April 2019, coming all the way from the lone star state of Texas. Growing up she had all sorts of different pets, including ball pythons, bearded dragons, eclectic parrots, Guinea pigs, dogs and cats. It seemed a natural career choice to work alongside animals, dedicated to improving their lives. Daryl graduated with honors from the Veterinary Technician Institute of Houston, and has had the opportunity to work for the University of Texas Health and Science Center, an orthopedic and surgical specialty, and small animal general practice. Daryl is excited to delve into the field of cardiology, and grow with her new team. Her goal is providing only the highest level of care possible for people and their pets. Including a warm, personable welcome to the clinic every time.
In her spare time, Daryl can be found foraging for mushrooms or observing the sea life in Oregon’s teeming tide pools with her husband, and their furry son Tamlin the Finnish Lapphund.
