A native Buckeye (from Ohio), Crystal has always had a love for animals. Her parents called her Elly May when she was little. She wanted to be a veterinarian from the age of 8. Her love for animals helped her understand from a young age what a positive affect a pet can bring to a person and a family. She also knows firsthand how finances can play a part when they should not. Unable to attend college due to financial reasons, she moved to Indiana where she had the opportunity to start working for Noah’s Animal Hospital. They provided her the opportunity to attend college while being a single mother.

She graduated from Dallas Community College in 2008 with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Veterinary Technology. She has always had a passion to help those who love their pets but do not always have the financial means available. She truly believes in the bond between human and animal and how important it can be. Over 15 years later she wants to give back to her community and help that animal bond inspire so many others like the little girl she used to be.
