Samantha joined the Agape Mobile Veterinary Care family in October of 2023 and brings her own special touch of care when assisting in providing the exceptional care we strive to provide to each and every one of our clients. She brings with her over 20 years of knowledge and experience in the veterinary field, which all started as a kennel assistant back in 1998 at a clinic in Spring, Texas. Since then, she has honed her skill set year after year by keeping current with the ever changing technology advances in modern veterinary medicine and continues to broaden her knowledge base as new advances continue to evolve.
