  • Growing up, Twyla was always around animals. In high-school she got into dog walking and shortly after she realized she wanted to expand her knowledge on the overall health and welfare of all animals.

    She decided to go into the Animal Health Technician program at Douglas College in Coquitlam in 2008. After working in different vet clinics, she started to really enjoy working with more difficult animals who need more patience and need more time to trust people.
