Angelina
Veterinary Technician
I’m Angelina, a veterinary technician with a heart for animals and a love for being outdoors with friends and family. My passion for animals led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine early on. My journey to being a vet tech began with my first job working as a kennel technician, which sparked my interest in veterinary science. I adopted my own furry companion: a loyal, loving dog named Koata, who I found as a stray. She quickly became my best friend and the best hiking buddy. When I’m not caring for animals at work or walking different trails with Koata, I enjoy trying restaurants around San Antonio, going to the firearms range with my dad and partner, and spending quality time with my friends and family.
Maricruz
Lead CSR
I’m Maricruz, I am the lead receptionist here at Eagle Vet. I have a passion for animals that shines in all areas of my life. I have always been surrounded by family pets and local wildlife, allowing my love for animals to blossom at a young age. From the moment I started working in the veterinary world in 2016, I knew I had found my calling. Here at Eagle Veterinary Hospital, I enjoy approaching each day with enthusiasm and compassion, whether I am scheduling appointments, comforting worried pet owners, or simply showering pets with love. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, exploring hiking trails with my dog, and unwinding with a good book. My furry family members include Cooper, a loyal and energetic Pomeranian, and two cats, Dante and Elvis, who keep me entertained with their antics and affection.
