Traci’s career as a veterinary technician started in 2008 when she graduated from Apollo College. While in school she landed a job at Orchard Hills Animal Hospital—this is when she met Dr. Thompson and Amy. She did some part time and fill-in work here at East Padden Animal Hospital from fall 2008 to spring 2010. Traci and her family were called away to Colorado to be with the children’s’ grandma; sadly she passed away in 2012. They had a couple of great adventures and learned a lot about Midwest weather during their stay. After meeting their newest family addition, Shaymus, along with some talking and planning, they decided to return home to the Great Northwest. One of Traci’s most cherished loves, besides her family, of course, is her love for the Seahawks. Her love doesn’t stop there—football, in general, is something she truly enjoys. She is a wife and mother of three (four if you count her pup, Shaymus). She is happy to be back at East Padden Animal Hospital and looks forward to working with all of you.
