Masako has always had big dreams. She even drives a 12-passenger van with only one child! But who knows, she may see a giraffe or a herd of deer that need a ride somewhere. Masako realized the biggest dream of her life in 2020, by creating a community-focused, family owned veterinary hospital. This is the icing on the cake (remember, she likes food) to a career spent in service and animal care. For these reasons and so many more, Dr. Masako “The Squirrel” Mori is a Pet Health Hero and always answers the call!

Katherine “Jill of All Trades” ain’t scared of nothing! Scaly, squirmy, furry, feathery, slimy — she’s never met an animal stranger. This is a mighty good thing, as her life goal is to one day appear on the show, Survivor. The tribe has spoken, she’d win the whole thing. Dr. Katherine, ahem “Jill,” is the new vet on the block here at Aloha and her passion for her craft is unmatched, as is her love for growing fam (her baby son is named after a Star Wars character, didn’t ya know?). She’s the resident hug giver, the bright spot in everyone’s day, and always has that pep in her step. When not caring for exotics, she’s rubbing the sand between her toes on the ocean or volunteering at some wildlife center. She’s a force to be reckoned with. When Aloha vet called, this Florida native answered!

Linda may be married to her college sweetheart but at Aloha Vet, she’s everyone’s “work wife.” A breeze to talk to, a constant support of two-legged peeps and four-legged friends, and dependable as all get out, this about 39 year old is a registered vet tech wise beyond her years. She digs the exotic animals—if you hadn’t heard of them, she probably has–and gives her goodest boys Tanner and Gunner a run for their money when they go out hiking in the Great Outdoors. They are quite the trio, if you were to ever see them out and about. Speaking of threes, Linda has 3 kids and is the oldest of 3 siblings. She’s always at the ready, always on her manicured toes, and is here to make your vet visit feel like a hotel stay, complete with a chocolate on the pillow (for the humans only, of course).

She even has a personal motto: Work hard and don’t ever give up, to achieve the things you want in life.

Away from work and her unofficial mayoral duties, Jess is caregiver to a multitude of rescued animals. These include, dogs, cats, horses, a donkey, and a chameleon; but being mom to her children Rory and Kenji. Jr. , makes her the biggest hero!

Small but mighty Catherine is the spring chicken on the Aloha Vet team, being the youngest and the resident member of Gen Z. Need to learn a TikTok dance in a jiffy? She’s your girl. She’s little Miss “Minnie Mouse” because not only is she demure but she’s a tiny thing, a whopping 75 lbs. Don’t let that fool you because this cute-as-button North Carolina native likes to get her swole on at the gym and cheer her little heart out for those she loves—like her high-school sweetheart of a fiance and her Rotties back home. When she’s not treating the creatures of Aloha like her babies, whispering sweet nothings to them, she’s playing with her pet bunny. She’s quick on her toes and can’t go a week without getting a fresh pedi on her toesies which makes total sense. We love this lil pipsqueak and thank our lucky stars she found us. Aloha Vet came a callin’ and “Minnie Mouse” picked up right away!

Executive Administrator and Client Care Representative

Rachel “The Shepherd” Schaub, NEVER rests on her laurels. The Shepherd is the outside resource that all teams need. Earning her codename for taking care of the team’s functional needs, this means sometimes stepping away from her jet setting lifestyle as a flight attendant with American Airlines, to be Aloha’s undercover supply clerk.

Of all the trips Rachel could go on, going back to New Zealand would be the best mission yet. If Aloha asked, she would gladly throw off her headset (only one that wears one, by the way) and hop in a plane for another adventure. Being a dependable go-getter, and genuinely amazing person, she earns the reputation easily as a Pet Health Hero! When Aloha called, “The Shepherd” answered!
