Daniella wears multiple hats at Patton Veterinary Hospital, working both as a receptionist in Client Relations and as an outpatient technician. She is currently pursuing her Associate of Science degree through Penn Foster, with the goal of becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician. Originally from Monterey, California, and having spent time in Midland, Texas, Daniella moved to York, PA, in 2001, where she settled with her family. As an Army brat, she had a diverse upbringing that ultimately led her to Lower Windsor, where she now resides on an 85-acre livestock and crop farm.
Her passion for helping both people and animals inspired her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, combining her deep knowledge of animal care with her dedication to providing exceptional client service. Daniella’s farm is home to an impressive variety of animals, including two horses, two cows, 17 Nigerian Dwarf goats, a pot-bellied pig, over 100 chickens, Silkie chickens, turkeys, guineas, pheasants, peacocks, geese, a rescued cat, and two Great Pyrenees dogs.
When she’s not caring for animals or helping clients, Daniella enjoys hunting, gardening, and canning. As a mother of four, she also loves off-roading adventures, and her perfect day off would involve a trip to Snow Shoe to take a UTV off-roading.
Her favorite quote is by Ayn Rand: “The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me,” a motto that reflects her tenacity and determination in everything she does.
