Cheyanne

Cheyanne is a small town, farm girl from northern NM where she was born and raised. She graduated from CNM with an associate's degree in Veterinary Technology and became a registered veterinary nurse in 2011. She began her career at NWAC in March 2012.

After ten years as a technician, she is now our practice manager, overseeing day-to-day operations. She was nicknamed our "firecracker" by the late Dr. Riegger as she is a go-getter. Whether it's HR matters, surgical assisting, or building maintenance, she handles it all.

At home, Cheyanne enjoys spending time with her husband and son. Family activities include anything outdoors that reminds her of northern NM, especially fishing and camping. She has two goofy hound dogs at home that keep life interesting. For her, life without pets is unimaginable, which drives her passion for helping others with their pets.
