Frankie joined Westlake in February 2026 as a Veterinary Assistant. Her passion for veterinary medicine began in high school while shadowing at a local veterinary clinic where she took her own dog for care. Working alongside a Registered Veterinary Technician inspired her to pursue a career in the field. After graduating high school, she enrolled in the Veterinary Technology program at the International Business College of Veterinary Technology Indianapolis and graduated in 2024. She is currently working toward obtaining her Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) license in the state of Illinois and would like to pursue a specialty certification in veterinary rehabilitation.
She has always had a deep love for animals, especially Boxers. Outside of work, Frankie enjoys spending time outdoors with her partner and their two boys. Her home is full of animals, including their dog, four cats, two pigs, three tortoises, a bearded dragon and snake — with many more animal friends sure to come in the future.
