Dr. Dena grew up in Alexandria Township, New Jersey, and first began working in the veterinary field at the age of 14 as a kennel assistant. She first was noted to want to be a veterinarian when her mom walked in to find her watching Animal Planet ER at the age of 5! Her love of veterinary medicine and animals took off from there. She now has quite the combination of animals between her house and her parents including 6 dogs, 2 cats, a rabbit, chickens, goats, and miniature horses. Outside of the clinic Dr Dena can be found hiking with her 3 dogs (Angel, Stevie Wonder, and Indiana Bones), camping, kayaking, or riding horses.
