Life-long resident of the Houston area, Phyllis joined the Bay Glen Team in September 2009. It would be an understatement to say that Phyllis loves what she does as a veterinary nurse.

At that same time, she also started a part time co-op job at a small animal clinic. For 8 years, she continued to hone her skills, learning all areas of the veterinary field, including receptionist, animal care specialist and technician. She left the vet business for 5 years, working for Civil Engineering firm in Houston, only to realize how much she MISSED working with animals. She returned to the business with more passion than ever! Phyllis brings 11 years of EXPERIENCE and unlimited PASSION to Bay Glen Animal Hospital. She enjoys her time equally as a surgical nurse and as an out patient nurse. She enjoys the rewards from an animal’s recovery, after each and every procedure. Client relationship is equally as important to her, with the reward being a smile on the customers face. Phyllis has two daughters, Kristi, age 21 and Felicia, age 15. Phyllis resides in Pearland with her boyfriend (and fishing partner) John, her poodle-terrier rescue dog Peanut, and Buzz, the mischievous cat. When she’s not working or being a mother, you can find her out on the water fishing – her second passion. |
