Practice Manager

Liz is a native Houstonian who developed a love for animals at just five years old. She graduated from PMI as a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) in 2012 and has been working in the veterinary field for over 14 years. Throughout her career, Liz has continued to grow professionally, working her way from CVA to Lead Technician and eventually Practice Manager.

Although much of Liz’s time is spent behind the scenes ensuring the clinic runs smoothly, she never hesitates to step onto the floor and support her team whenever she is needed. She believes that the foundation of an exceptional team leader is leading by example and strives to be a dependable resource for both her team and the clinic.

The well-being and happiness of patients, clients, and staff are Liz’s top priorities. She is dedicated to creating a positive experience for everyone who walks through the clinic doors and takes pride in making sure their needs are met. Liz has a particular passion for helping patients who may feel anxious or fearful about visiting the veterinarian. In 2018, she became Fear Free Certified so she could better understand these patients, build trust with them, and help make their veterinary experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Outside of work, Liz enjoys binge-watching documentaries, K-dramas, and the occasional anime. She also loves shopping and taking her daily walks.

Client Service Representative

Howdy! Sabrina is excited to be part of the Ella Veterinary Clinic family! Originally from Saigon, Vietnam, she moved to the United States at just 3 years old and has called Houston home ever since. She is bilingual in English and Vietnamese and knows a bit of Spanish lingo, too! She has been in the veterinary field since she was 20 years old and loves helping pets and their families feel comfortable and cared for.

At home, Sabrina is a proud cat mom to Moe & Bruce, who have very different personalities but both have her wrapped around their little paws! Moe is the Norwegian tabby you might spot in her photos, while Bruce, her black cat, prefers to keep a lower profile. He was named after Bruce Wayne, naturally.

Outside of work, she enjoys pampering, having a good laugh, and making memories with the people she loves.

Sabrina believes animals are heaven-sent and that they bring comfort, joy, and unconditional love into our lives. She feels blessed to care for them and is passionate about helping pets and their families feel supported throughout every stage of their journey. She looks forward to meeting you and your furry family members and can’t wait to be part of your pets’ care journey at Ella Veterinary Clinic. See y’all soon!
