Alessia grew up in North Vancouver and moved to Whistler 5 years ago. She quickly fell in love with the beauty and lively community, which inspired her to build both a life and a career here. With a lifelong passion for animals and nature, Alessia's time in Whistler and her volunteer work at PAWS reignited her desire to pursue a career in animal care. She studied veterinary assisting in Vancouver to begin her professional journey. 

When she's not working with animals, Alessia enjoys spending her time hiking, biking, and snowboarding in the mountains. On her downtime, you can find her curled up with her two cats, Taz and Ozzy, catching up on episodes of Grey's Anatomy.
