Monica Ballerini joined the Park Centre team in 2007 as a veterinary assistant after graduating from UC Davis with a Bachelors degree in Animal Science. She has a wide range of animal experience from wrangling beef cattle to handling birds of prey. She was thrilled to work with all types of animals, but she found her niche working with small, companion animals at Park Centre and is especially fond of elderly felines. Her patience and calm demeanor make even the most difficult pet a little easier to work with. She lives in Alameda with her husband, daughter and 3 cats.
