Veterinary Technician

Gabi started working in the veterinary field when she was 17 years old; working her way up from veterinary assistant to veterinary technician.

Before coming to Delmarva she was an emergency veterinary technician in New Mexico but she is very excited to be part of this amazing team here at Delmarva!

In her free time, she likes to spend time with her husband and 2 daughters.

She has been working in the veterinary field for 10 years. Torrey spends her free time with her husband, daughter, and their 2 dogs, a cat and a bearded dragon.

Her favorite animals to work with are large animals and exotics.

I got my start in a large shelter in South Carolina in Feb 2012 with no experience.

Little did I know I would be a part of the team that changed that facility into the largest no-kill shelter in the southeast, earned an AAHA accreditation, and changed animal welfare in the Deep South.

I gained invaluable knowledge working there and at other various shelters, corporate, and private clinics over the years. I’ve cared for thousands of sick and injured animals, assisted in many surgeries, and educated countless adults and children on proper animal care.

I joined Delmarva Animal Emergency Center after relocating to the Dover area when my husband received military orders and took some time away from my veterinary career to be a new mom.

Animal care has been a passion of mine since childhood! I’ve been in veterinary medicine for 11 years, with a special interest and dedication to the care of our senior pets.

My love of caring for our furry patients when their family is unable to be with them led me to join the team at Delmarva Animal Emergency Center in August 2021.

In my spare time, I enjoy camping, hiking, kayaking, and cuddling with my 6-year-old torti Naya.
