Veterinary Assistant
Karina studied Psychology at LA Mission College, and during her time there, she began working at Pet Supreme, caring for the reptile room. There, she discovered her interest in continuing to work with animals and transitioned from volunteering at the clinic to now being part of our team. Karina has several pets, including three dogs, three tarantulas, a snake, cats, and a chameleon.
Her dogs are Buster, an Australian cattle/German Shepherd; Peewee, a Pomeranian; and Ruby, a terrier mix. Her cats are Cali, a Calico cat, and Apollo, a tuxedo cat. Karina loves the companionship of her pets and the loyalty animals provide. She enjoys interacting with their different personalities. During her time off, Karina plays video games, listens to music, and goes bowling or to concerts.
