Litzy, Small Animal Technician
Litzy grew up in Phoenix before moving to a small town in Mexico, where life on a farm sparked her love for animals. She has been in the veterinary field for three years, beginning with JTED’s vet assisting program during high school, where she discovered she belonged in veterinary medicine.
At Jackpot, Litzy enjoys the variety of patients she gets to help each day—from routine wellness visits to emergencies—and loves working alongside her supportive team. She’s passionate about education, always eager to learn new skills, teach others, and use her bilingual abilities to better connect with clients.
At home, Litzy cares for a full house of animals: her cat Luna, her heeler Ruby, and four horses—Saphaera, Diamante, Juanito, and Duvalin. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking and running.
