From a young age, Selena knew she would lead a life around animals. Selena is from a Mexican-American family and speaks fluent Spanish. She aims to dedicate her life to animal welfare advocacy through veterinary medicine and conservation. She is currently a full-time
student at Seattle University studying Marine Biology. Selena has experience working at a couple local animal sanctuaries, wildlife centers and most recently an animal shelter in Bellevue. She says her work with animals lead her to live a plant-based lifestyle.
Selena is planning on applying to vet school after her undergrad and hopping to continue learning about holistic veterinary medicine and how it can successfully come together with conventional/western medicine. Selena believes holistic healing is an important and needed
field in medicine. In her words, she loves that it truly considers and values the power of the body.
Selena's other aspirations and passions in veterinary medicine also include providing high volume spay/neuter services to under-served communities and developing countries in hopes to address overpopulation. Hitting closer to home, Selena also is interested in providing quality vet medicine to low-income and underprivileged communities. She is also very passionate about marine/wildlife conservation and loves to scuba dive!
In her free-time, Selena loves hiking, travelling, volunteering, fostering cute animals, pet sitting, and discovering new vegan eats in Seattle. She is also a proud momma to her English foxhound
mix puppy, Iverson.

Exploring the animal kingdom has always been one of Meleah’s primary goals. That goal has been achieved thus far through seeking variety in her pets, in her work and education, and in her experiences in the great outdoors.
Volunteering at animal shelters, horse rescues, and wildlife rehabilitation centers have given Meleah the opportunity to experience the care, temperament, and medical needs of many different animals. From earning the trust of abused horses, to bottle feeding baby raccoons, her passion and knowledge has continued to grow. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Zoology has given her valuable knowledge with a scientific approach to how animals bodies and minds work.
Life is about exploring your passions, which Meleah does by exploring new facets of the animal care industry, currently she is learning more about a holistic lifestyle through her job here at Ancient Arts. She also loves to explore nature via horseback riding, kayaking, hiking, and hopefully one day scuba diving. Meleah is currently the proud owner/co-owner of Levi (a rescued Arabian horse), Captain (an adorable Dalmatian puppy), Frankie (a rescued Bearded Dragon), and Loki (a 9yr old German Short-haired pointer).

Sophi (Rest in Peace)
