Briana Ortiz

Briana Ortiz joined our team after graduating from the Joliet Junior College Veterinary Medical Technology Program in 2024 with an Associate Degree in Applied Science. She is also Fear Free Certified in Small Animal and Equine care, ensuring every patient feels as comfortable and stress-free as possible during their visit.

Briana’s passion for animals started at a young age and has only grown over the years. She shares her home with an adorable crew of pets, including three dogs (Elaine, Ashley, and Bella), two guinea pigs (Zoila and Ruqa), and a leopard gecko named Azra.

At the clinic, Briana loves being part of a team that values Fear Free practices. Her favorite part of her role is bonding with patients and building trust with them over time. For Briana, the most rewarding aspect of her job is working alongside a supportive and compassionate team.

Outside of work, Briana enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, and making memories with her animals, family, and friends. She also volunteers weekly at a local shelter, helping care for dogs and cats in need.
