Executive Director

Heather Grehan

Hi! I’m Heather, the Executive Director of our Escondido location! I was born and raised in a small town outside of Memphis, Tennessee and I have lived in Southern California for 8 years now. I love the west coast, the food, the beaches and the people are all a part of the reason I love being here. I have a passion for helping the community and have found my calling in the career of helping animals and pet parents. I strive to give superior customer service and enjoy educating clients on pet care. I have 2 fur-babies of my own, Oliver and Simon, both of which were rescued and hold a very special place in my heart. Here at Mohnacky, we are more than just a team, we are a family and we hope to make you feel a part of our family too!

Assistant Executive Director

Arielle

I grew up around animals so being able to come to work every day and help them feel better is the best part of my day! By having a Corgi dog of my own (Tootsie), I understand the importance of being able to take your loved one to a facility that you trust! I am so happy to be a part of such an awesome family!

Our Registered Veterinary Technicians

Christina, RVT

My name is Christina. I am the Director of Education and Training for Mohnacky Animal hospitals. I have been in the veterinary field since I was 16 years old working as a kennel tech. I eventually moved on to graduate from college with my Bachelor’s in Biology while also obtaining my RVT license. During this time I worked as a technician for multiple hospitals across North County. I later went on to get my Master’s in Biotechnology and moved into a formal teaching position where I taught vet techs for an AVMA accredited program for 4 years. My passion for animals and teaching has landed me here at MAH where I get to continue to help veterinary professionals grow in their careers.

Our Veterinary Assistants

Josue

I was born and raised in Southern California. Animals have always been an important aspect of my life. I have two kitties – Snickers and Fluffy, and the goofiest puppy, Buddy. Working for MAHE has been a rewarding experience for me.

Elizabeth

I’ve always had a strong bond with animals. Once I realized I wanted to help animals I started volunteering at animal shelters. I decided that I wanted to take my passion for animals and turn it into a career – I have a Veterinary Assistant certificate and am currently studying to become an RVT. I also have a passion for wildlife and have a wildlife handler’s certification. I can’t wait to help your furry family members and treat them as they are my own. I have two cats at home named Napoleon and Josephene who are my babies.

Lisa

Growing up in San Diego I always knew I had a passion for animals and when I got older I realized I wanted to turn that passion into a career. Here at MAHE I get that opportunity and I love helping everyone’s furry babies! I recently studied animal law and hope to become a RVT soon. At home I have a dog, Buddy and a tortoise named Dino.

Allison

I grew up in San Diego and I have always had a passion to work with animals and MAHE has given me the perfect opportunity to do so. I am currently working towards becoming an RVT. I can’t wait to help your animals feel better! I have two kitties at home – Duke and Callie and they are my babies.

Gabriel

I have always had an attachment for animals. I’d consider myself a dog person, but the feline friends are just as adorable. There’s always been a dog in the household. I was born in Santa Clara, California and raised in San Diego. Working for MAHE is not only fruitful but also an absolute honor. Outside of work you will catch me either at the beach or on a Brazilian Jiu-jistu mat.

Our Exam Room Advocates

Bella

Being part of the Mohnacky team is both inspiring and fulfilling. I love having the opportunity to work with clients and their animals, helping give them the most comfortable and positive experience. We have so many adorable fur babies come through our door each day, and being able to give each of them love is the best! I also love going home to give my kitty, “Milo”. and puppy “Banks” tons of love.”

Taylor

I have always had a passion working with animals so I joined the veterinary field in 2015. Joining the MAHE team has been a very rewarding experience for me. I have had the opportunity to learn new things and truly enjoy going to work everyday. I love getting to cuddle with all the fur babies that come my way throughout my day. I am so glad to be a part of such a great team.

Ghazal

My parents are both RN’s which ignited my passion to join the medical field myself. That is why I pursued my masters degree in biomedical engineering from UCSD. With COVID-19 rampant, that field is currently focused on rapid testing, which is not the ideal route for me. I decided to pivot and start working with animals. With my medical background and my passion for furbabies, MAHE is the purrrfect fit for me.

As the Lead Customer Service Representative, I strive to provide clients with the best experience possible when they visit.

Maribel

Ever since I can remember I’ve always had so many pets! From bunnies, hamsters, dogs, and reptiles. I currently have two fur babies, Penelope and Gigi. Working here at MAHE has been the best, knowing that I am part of a team who are dedicated to helping with your pet’s needs.
