Valerie Pena

Practice Manager

When Valerie was younger, she had a pregnant white Chihuahua named Weda. After witnessing her dog endure a tumultuous pregnancy, Valerie vowed to learn more about animal care so that she could help other animals in the future. Today, Valerie has fulfilled her dream. As the practice manager at Corner Vet at the Heights, she’s in a prime position to help her beloved animals lead a healthy, happy life!

Born and raised in Houston, TX, Valerie always had an interest in animals, insects and reptiles. She eventually got a chance to work at a vet clinic, where she gained experience in assisting doctors with surgeries and handling appointments. After honing her skills and gaining experience, she was ready to begin a new journey and was able to find a new home at Corner Vet at the Heights.

From helping animals, to working closely with doctors, to watching the growth and development of her team, Valerie enjoys various aspects of her job. She looks forward to successfully conquering whatever challenge comes her way at the clinic.

In her free time, Valerie enjoys spending time outdoors and watching and playing sports. Whether it’s listening to her daughter’s jokes or watching her dog Timmy run around in circles, she also cherishes being around her loved ones!
