Operations Management
Petri
Practice Owner
Petri enjoys being the boss and runs a tight ship. He always makes sure that his minions are in line and ready to give him lots of treats. If he isn’t willingly given treats, he has no issue with stealing what he needs. Petri has a total of six extra toes and is proud to be a fancy polydactyl cat.
Legolas
CEO
Legolas is Petri’s right-hand man and does not mind reprimanding any employees that they deem to be out of line. He agrees with Petri’s philosophy on the theft of food, and he is always hungry. Legolas only has three legs, so he and Petri balance each other out well.

Assistants

Mikayla was born in North Carolina and moved out West in 2006. She has wanted to work with animals her whole life and loves getting to meet all the animals. She is a dog mom of four, including two local rescues.
Caroline

She has a Bachelor of Sciences with a minor in veterinary medicine. Her passions include her 5 Siamese cats (Duchess, Dakini, Demi, Dani, and Dahlia) and spending time with her husband. Together, they live a peaceful life, either listening to the music he creates or the cats screaming about something very non-urgent (such as a cat meeting in the bathroom cabinets). Sometimes, they remember they also have a corn snake (Esmeralda) and a crested gecko (Edna).
Brilee
Brilee started interning with Zion Vet before joining the team in April 2022. Brilee likes archery, hunting, fishing, and virtual creation. You will always see Brilee eating popcorn and drinking his sweet tea. Brilee’s favorite animal is a tortoise. Brilee is currently attending Utah Tech University for pre-vet.

Emma was born and raised in beautiful Northern Arizona and just recently relocated to St. George. She has always loved animals, so she is so excited to be a part of the Zion Vet team! When she is not at work, you will find her outside or playing volleyball and always with her boyfriend. Emma can’t wait to meet you and your furry, scaly, or feathery friends!

Lisa
Lisa was born and raised in Southern California. Moved to Southern Utah in 2021. She has been in vet medicine for the past couple of years but loves every part of her job.

In her not so free time, she loves spending time with her husband and 3 kids. She loves to go boating, ride the sea doo’s and taking trips back home to Southern California to visit family and friends.
