Melissa Strong.

Hi, I am Melissa Strong. I am a veterinary technician (Nurse) here at
Oasis. I have been with the clinic since February 2001. Originally, I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I moved here to Arizona in 1999. I have a German Shepherd named Tim, 2 cats and a box turtle. All of my "kids" came to me through adoption or rescuing.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending it with my family, creative writing, reading, cultural events and Mehendi (Henna Art). I am very interested in Celtic Mythology, Herbal Medicine and everything about India! I am active in the Irish American community and I'm a student at the Academy Of Irish and Celtic Studies (Music Academy) playing flute and tin whistle. I really enjoy the local Irish music scene.

I come from a very close knit family, all of whom are still in Ohio except for my brother who also lives in Arizona. I share my life with my two beautiful children, Jacob and Amanda. They are my pride and joy and keep me very busy.

I have worked in the veterinary field for over 15 years. I continually learn new skills by attending seminars and labs. With my academic and clinical skills I will provide your pet with the utmost gentle and professional care he or she deserves.

Taking care of your four-legged family member is not just a job to me, it is my career. Animals are one of my great passions in life and I couldn't imagine being employed in any other field.

Thank you for stopping by and learning a little more about those that care for your pets. I look forward to helping you in the future.
