Mer joined the MVS team in January 2024. She has been in the veterinary field for about 4 years, working in various different positions. Her animal experience spans over 15 years, including running her own animal caretaker business and working with exotic animals. In her free time, she has a unique hobby of practicing taxidermy. She also enjoys hiking with her dog, listening to power metal music, gaming, programming and coding, digital art, costume making and crafting. At home, Mer lives with Lip, an AKC Pembroke Welsh Corgi, two cats named Gilbert and Hermes, a Syrian Hamster named Mr. Frodo, and a 20-gallon aquarium housing Cobra’s Endlers, guppies, Ember Tetras, approximately 200 Red Cherry Shrimp, and Corydoras Catfish. Future plans include adding a Grammostola pulchra and a Ball Python to her collection.
