Raychel has worked in veterinary medicine for over 15 years, 10 of which has been in small animal emergency medicine.

Raychel always found herself returning to emergency medicine.
Raychel has a pretty busy home life as well. She is married and has two boys. She also has 2 cats (Curley and Hairball), and a 12 year old cross-eyed Pit Bull names Gunnar. Raychel’s hobby is "ponding", and taking up residence in the pond is 4 red-eared sliders: Ned, Ted, Zed, and Bob. They share the pond with several goldfish and koi, but Tank and Ed are in charge. In her spare time, she also runs a business for her husband which in turn has brought an appreciation and understanding of running a business.
