Christa Nelson

After receiving her Associate’s degree from Northwest College in Powell, Christa went on to graduate from Oregon State University where she received a B.S. in Animal Science with a focus on Livestock Nutrition. After college, she spent several years working on a ranch in Pryor, Montana. She then moved to the Midwest with her husband where she worked as a Veterinary Technician at VCA Animal Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Later, she accepted a position at the Wisconsin Humane Society because she wanted to focus on a wider range of animal care. Next, Christa opened and managed a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Christa has two rescue dogs (Barney & Huxley, both Border Collie mixes). When she’s not working, Christa enjoys reading, hiking, riding, and forcing her husband to watch the Great British Baking Show (don’t worry, she says he’s coming around to it!) Christa and Scout
