FRIENDLY ANIMAL CLINIC - Key Persons
Alysia, originally from New Hampshire, has called North Carolina home for over two decades. She joined the Friendly Animal Clinic team in 2011, and has been putting her lifelong love for animals to good use ever since.

When she's not playing video games or reading (usually with a cat or two planted on her lap), you might find Alysia at a local winery or brewery, happily petting other people's dogs.
