Animal Care Team

Becky, LVT

Practice Manager

I have lived in Gardnerville my entire life with the exception of 4 years attending the University of Nevada, Reno. I received my Bachelors Degree in Animal Science in 2000 and became a Licensed Veterinary Technician that same year. My career in veterinary medicine started at the age of 16 as an animal caretaker. I joined Alpine Animal Hospital in 2013 as the Practice Manager. I am proud of the quality care we provide and enjoy working with such wonderful staff and doctors.

I am a born and raised South Lake Tahoe local. My family has been here for decades. In my free time I enjoy boating on the Lake in the summer time, and in the winter I am desperately waiting for it to be summer. My pup Maycyn and I enjoy hiking through the woods and enjoying the river, and lake.

Maegan

Registered Veterinary Technician

I go by Mae. Born and raised in Santa Rosa, I moved to Tahoe in 2009 and adopted my best gal dog Sage in 2011. She is my ride or die and the reason I decided to pursue a career in Veterinary medicine. On my off time you can find me riding one of my many bikes, and enjoying all the fun Tahoe has to offer.
