Casey Minkoff – Veterinary Technician

My name is Casey Minkoff, I was born in Connecticut but got to Texas as soon as I could! I have been a Veterinary Technician for 10 years now and I am always wanting to learn more about the field. I met my future husband, Jamison, while out singing Karaoke in 2001 and we got married in 2018. In November 2020, we welcomed our first baby, Charlotte (Charlie). In my spare time I love to read, play soccer, and take walks with Charlie and our dog, Layla. I can’t wait to get to know you and your fur babies!
