	Suzi Suzi, a Registered Veterinary Technician, has joined the team with an extensive veterinary experience of over six years. A Bachelor of Science graduate of UCD and a recent graduate of an accredited R.V.T. program, she also passed her test with flying colors :-} Originally from the desert, Suzi also helped start a feral cat program while getting her degree, but has returned home to continue her career. Her interests outside of work include any kind of art and the project of fixing and settling into their new home.


	Drema Drema has been a member of the ACH team for over 10 years! She works part time as a veterinary nurse and room technician. When not working at ACH, she spends her time doing the other thing she really loves: Training dogs! Drema is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT) and a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). She was a registered Delta Society dog handler for over 10 years visiting nursing homes and Alzheimer's units. She and her dogs also worked in the Hospice program for the Visiting Nurse Association being one of the first teams in the area. Also, she participated in the monthly children's READ program at the Apple Valley Library. Today, she puts these skills to use in her dog training classes at ACH.


	Bahaar Bahaar brings to us many years of experience in reception. She is very adept at multi-tasking and client communication, and came to us already skilled in our medical software. She has great ideas and will be able to continue to help us improve our customer service. She is a very friendly and open individual who is able to help clients with any problem they might have. As a transplant from "down the hill", she is adapting wonderfully to the beautiful high desert.


	Lisa Lisa and her husband, Ron, moved to the High Desert in August 2008. Lisa, An LVT from Washington state, enjoyed a short break from veterinary work before joining us in October. While working as a receptionist, she hopes to find time to prepare and take the Veterinary Technician exam to become certified in California. Lisa is an avid movie fan of the old classics including the likes of Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Katherine Hepburn, Doris Day and more. Lisa also enjoys books by Georgette Heyer and Dick Frances.


	Trina Trina is the glue of the hospital. Her hard work and effort to keep things running smoothly are always appreciated. At this time she is working online to continue her education in the field, and everyday we are glad to see her smiling face.


	Katie Katie comes to us with a great desire to be a veterinarian, and she has just finished her undergrad work at UCI, receiving her Bachelor of Science. Her contributions in the rooms with Dr. Deb have been an asset, and instrumental in her learning of hands on medicine.


	George George is the youngest member of ACH. A Junior in high school, he is working hard towards a career in veterinary medicine, as made obvious by his desire to work in the field at such a young age. He takes care of all aspects of general cleaning including all of the kennels in the building. An average day for him is to remove the doors off of everything and scrub behind every nook and cranny! We don't know what we would do without him and we work hard to make sure he continues to learn every day so that he can fulfill his dream of becoming a veterinarian himself!


	Laura Laura is back to school for her second year at college. She also wishes to become a veterinarian and has been working very hard in North Carolina. We will be having her return on and off throughout her undergrad schooling, to further her hands on experience.
