Alyssa McFarland
Client Care Manager
I grew up in a military household, so spent most of my life traveling around the U.S. and overseas. I spent much of my adult life in the beautiful state of Washington. Along my travels, I studied Pharmacology at the University of Wisconsin and currently am studying Neuroscience at George Mason University. My first position was as a pharmacy technician in college and have stayed in the medical field ever since! I have about 10 years experience in the veterinary field, including emergency medicine, speciality medicine, and general practice. I started as a veterinary receptionist, but have worked my way into management and previously was a Pharmaceutical Director. My interests include pharmacology, neurology, and radiology.
I hope to bring my previous experience and positive energy to Friendship’s team. Using my experience from various areas within the veterinary community, I hope to help integrate that knowledge and maximize the client/patient experience. I love working one-on-one to develop and empower staff members from start to finish.
When I am not working, I can be found anywhere outdoors! I am an avid hiker, enjoy kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding, and reading. My other passions include volunteering to help people in the mental health community, especially people suffering from substance abuse disorders.
