Sonya W.

Originally from the Bay Area, Sonya has been working in the veterinary field for six years. She began as an assistant for a mobile veterinarian and has since gained experience in veterinary emergency rooms, a cat rescue, and as a biotechnician in a lab focused on preclinical drug development. In 2019, she enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves as an Animal Care Specialist (68T) and traveled to Guatemala in 2021 on a humanitarian mission to work with local cattle.

Sonya’s love for animals has been lifelong. She currently has two dogs, Caspar and Winch, and a cat named Reyna. Previously, she’s cared for another cat, a rabbit, fish, and even raised over 60 chickens. She’s also been riding horses since third grade, and competed with Stanford’s IEA team in high school.

Outside of work, Sonya enjoys working out, baking, scuba diving, and cosplaying. She’s also a fan of anime and video games.
