Lexi, CVT
Lexi attended the Madison College Vet Tech Program and graduated in May 2025! Animals have always been her whole world, and getting to care for them every day feels like the best job ever. At home, life is full and fun - she shares it with her boyfriend, Brennan, their two golden retrievers, Huckleberry and Finn, and their cat, Lil. There's never a dull moment with that crew, and she wouldn't have it any other way!
When she's not at the clinic, you can bet she's outside somewhere. Lexi loves hunting and fishing, and as soon as winter rolls in, she's out on the ice - ice fishing is her absolute favorite. Cold mornings, quiet lakes, and a good catch? That's her happy place. When she's not with animals or out adventuring, she's pouring candles for her own small candle business. It keeps her productive and busy!
