Selina Martinez (Technician)
I have wanted to be a veterinary technician since I was little. I started working at CCAH as a kennel attendant while going to school to become a certified veterinary technician. I have learned so much and loving it every step of the way. I love helping fur babies in any way I can and receiving all the fur baby kisses in return. I have four dogs and one ferret at home. I am well known for my distracting colorful make-up and bright bold scrubs.
Jacqueline Weyn (Lead Technician)
I have dreamed of being in the veterinary community since I was a kid! I come from a ranching family from Tucumcari which sparked my interest and love for animals of all kinds. I originally started as a dog trainer while going to school but found that I was more interested in the science behind behavior which moved me to switch fully over to the veterinary side. I love being able to help people and their animals in any aspect I can and give compassion when it is most needed, I hope to continue my education further into veterinary medicine and learn as much as I can as this field is constantly evolving. I enjoy backpacking and camping with my dogs, skiing, figure skating, and have a side passion in botany.

When she’s not tending to our pet patients, she enjoys looking after her own animals (4 dogs, 1 cat, many chickens, and 3 goofy goats), playing video games with friends, and hiking the gorgeous New Mexico landscape.
