Maria joined the Lombard Veterinary Hospital team in December of 2025 and is grooming certified. She has many family pets at home, most of whom are rescues, with the exception of Lola Bean, a Doberman–Pit Bull mix she and her husband have raised since birth. Maria is a graduate of Glenbard East High School and enjoys relaxing in her free time and spending quality time with her family.
Her lifelong love for animals originally inspired her to pursue veterinary medicine, and while her path evolved, her passion for working with pets remained strong. She is excited to learn more about how a veterinary hospital operates, gain new experiences, and continue growing in her role as a groomer.
