Assistants

Jessica Martinez

Technician Assistant

I have been working with animals for about 4 years now and I am one of the lucky people who can get to say that they love going to work! I love being able to help make a difference in the lives of pets and their families. At home, I have a beautiful little girl, 2 dogs and a cat that I love coming home to.

Andrea Scinkovec​​​​​​​

Technician Assistant

Working at South Bay Animal Hospital and Pet Resort has been a career change for me, so I’m relatively new to the field. However I enjoy working with the many different animals that come through the doors! When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time at home, riding my motorcycle, and going on adventures. This is my buddy Lorenzo.

Catriona D'Aulerio

Technician Assistant

I qualified as a veterinarian in England in 2012, I am relatively new to the Bay Area and am working towards getting my license as a veterinarian in California. In the meantime I am working as a tech assistant and thoroughly enjoying it. I have two daughters and three dogs and between them they take up all my spare time!

Lauren Cunningham​​​​​​​

Technician Assistant

​​​​​​​Hi there, I'm Lauren! I'm originally from the Central Valley but moved up to the Bay Area to obtain my bachelor's degree (go Spartans!). I'm excited to expand my knowledge in a small animal practice with the help of the awesome staff at SBAHPR. When I'm not working, I enjoy boxing, lounging with my Great Dane, Kira, and hosting game nights with my friends.

Calvin Cha

Technician Assistant

Hi, my name is Calvin. I am looking forward to meeting the amazing clients and animals of South Bay Animal Hospital and Pet Resort! I am originally from New York City, but spent the majority of my life in Colorado. I enjoy practicing Taekwondo, eating, and spending time with my dogs Severus, Whooves, and my guinea pig Butters.

Robert Griego

Technician Assistant

Hello everyone, my name is Robert. I started my journey in veterinary medicine back in 2015 as a volunteer assistant in a county animal shelter clinic. Since then, I have amassed experience working in surgery, general practice, emergency, and critical care. Like many, I knew I wanted to work with animals ever since I was a small child. My goal is to utilize all the skills and knowledge I have learned so that I can provide the best care possible to all of our patients.

Niva Freedberg

Technician Assistant

I have only recently moved to the Bay area, after getting my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in Israel. I am working towards a veterinarian license here in California! In the mean time, I am learning at South Bay Animal Hospital & Pet Resort and enjoying every moment. At home, I keep a sweet dog, a wild toddler, and a physicist. Together we explore the beautiful nature around us.

Eve Grigsby

Technician Assistant

My name is Eve and I’m a Veterinary Assistant at South Bay. I’m currently finishing the rest of my requirements for my RVT License. I was enrolled at Sacramento State University as a Political Science Major. But once I had enrolled in my first Animal Science course, I fell in love with medicine, science, and, and compassion for the voiceless. From that point forward I was hooked on vet science. People describe me as meticulous, eager to learn, and chipper. I’m very excited to expand my knowledge here in the Silicon Valley! In my free time, I love to read and write, drink lots of tea, participate in spoken word poetry open mics, and spend hours in the local dog park. I have a 2 year old Shih Tzu named, “Mogwaii”, and Pitbull named, “Pete”. My Pitbull also has his own tuxedo 3 year old kitty named, “Samuel!"
