  • Flavia S.
    Inventory Manager

    Years in Veterinary Medicine: 

    Hello, I'm Flavia, and I'm Thrilled to Be a Part of the Northwood Animal Hospital Family! My journey in the world of veterinary medicine began back in 2014 when I enrolled in Unifenas Veterinary School in Brazil. Little did I know that this would be the start of a lifelong passion for caring for our four-legged friends. In 2017, life took me on a new adventure as I moved to the USA. It was here that I took my first step into the American veterinary scene, landing a job as a veterinary technician in an Emergency Vet clinic. Those fast-paced, high-pressure days taught me invaluable lessons and honed my skills. By 2019, I was ready for a new challenge, and that's when my journey in veterinary general practice began. It's been a fulfilling path, and I've cherished every moment of it. When I'm not at the hospital, I have a world of hobbies that keep me busy. Rock climbing, hiking, and pickleball are my adventurous escapes, but nothing beats the joy of spending quality time with my beloved family.

    Elsa "
    In Training

    Education: Studying to go to HPU

    Years in Practice: 1

    Hello! My name is Elsa, because my beautiful plumage matches the color of the dazzling dress that Elsa wore in the movie 'Frozen'. I was born and raised by a local parakeet enthusiast right here in High Point, NC! I am a great example of the amazing things you can find right here in the amazing city of High Point, NC! I am only a few months old, so I am still learning to sing. But I practice every day and my awesome cage mate, Coco, is teaching me some pretty cool tunes. You may see us bickering sometimes, but it is only because we just can't agree on the best Disney Movie of all time. I'm sure all of you would agree with me that 'Frozen' is way better than 'Coco'. I mean, who doesn't just love Olaf? He is almost as cute as me! I hope to meet you soon!
