Allyson

Allyson

Practice Manager


Allyson Naplin was born in New Jersey, but grew up in Colorado with her parents and sister. For as long as she can remember, animals were an integral part of her life. In her role as Practice Manager, Allyson loves being able to help owners with their pets and witnessing the special relationships that develop between pets and their owners!

Allyson has been with the Wadsworth Animal Hospital team since 2005. She particularly enjoys the variety of her day to day tasks, whether it’s working with patients, spending some quiet time doing paperwork, or taking care of the plants outside.

Outside the clinic, Allyson shares her home with her 2 Great Danes, Benny and Joon. At 195 pounds, Benny is truly a gentle giant, and Joon is a feisty, petite girl who’s always ready to play. Allyson’s hobbies include working in her yard, playing with her dogs, and more recently, working on her indoor hydroponic garden.


Jaqui

Jaqui

Lead Certified Veterinary Technician


Jaquilyn Mackey grew up in a small oil field town called Rangely in the northwest corner of Colorado. She, along with most of her family, has since relocated to the Denver area. Several years ago, a car accident ended one career and brought about this one, which Jaqui believes was truly meant to be!

It was the unique medical skill set of the veterinary industry that truly drew her in, as well as the ability to provide care and compassion for the voiceless while nurturing the human-animal bond. To her, the most inspiring animal moments are those in which the animal is the rehabilitator and the human is the patient in need of care.

Medically speaking, Jaqui enjoys drawing blood and placing catheters. Surgery is the area that intrigues her the most and keeps her on her toes. Lastly, she is fascinated by the tiny world magnified that makes up lab work. Over the years, Jaqui has seen it all, including a doctor losing her drawers in the middle of surgery. Unable to do anything about it at the time, Jaqui was tasked with covering the windows until the procedure was complete. 

Jaqui has a cat named Nemo – a special needs, retired barn cat whose life now revolves around murder and food. She also has a blue tongued skink, a rehab from the Reptile Humane Society that has a love affair with snails!

Her household is a self-professed nerdy one, full of comic books, anime, video games, tabletop games, books, yarn, and plants. These interests have resulted in treasured family memories, great friendships, and entertainment that has been life changing. 


Ciara

Ciara

Certified Veterinary Technician


Ciara always loved animals, but it wasn’t until the tragic loss of her beloved dog, Star, that she decided she wanted to work with them professionally. That feeling of sorrow and helplessness blossomed into a deep desire to make a difference and help others who may be going through a similar situation. As a veterinary technician, Ciara is able to do just that!

To pursue her dream, Ciara enrolled in Front Range Community College where she earned her degree in veterinary technology in 2017. After working at a few different practices, she found her way to Wadsworth Animal Hospital in September of 2022. Clinically, Ciara has a special interest in venipuncture and cardiology.

Outside of work, Ciara resides in Conifer with her parents and several pets, including three dogs (Bear, Bernie, and Tiger), a rabbit (Winnie), a cat (Leo), and a leopard gecko (Benny). Their mini animal farm definitely keeps them all happy and busy!


Daniel

Daniel

Certified Veterinary Assistant


Daniel has always had a passion for medicine and helping others. While he initially set out to pursue a career as a nurse, he quickly came to the realization that human medicine wasn’t quite the right fit for him. Initially terrified of animals thanks to a childhood encounter with an aggressive dog, Daniel overcame his fear, transitioned to vet med and has never looked back. Even if it’s something as simple as administering a vaccine, impacting the lives of animals is something Daniel takes great pride in.

In his role as Certified Veterinary Assistant, Daniel wears many hats and helps his colleagues in a variety of ways. He particularly enjoys assisting with surgery, which he says keeps him on his toes. He also has a special interest in client education and helping pet owners develop a health care plan that best suits their pets’ needs.

At home, Daniel has a menagerie of pets: Axel, a rescue dog who was once abused but has since transformed into a happy, healthy and loyal companion; a black cat named Pumpkin, who is full of spunk and sass. He also has two birds: a cockatiel named Crouton and a Green cheek conure named Penelope (a.k.a. Penny). Penny will spend all day on your shoulder making kissy noises as she presses her beak up against your cheek. Crouton prefers to be by himself most of the time, but tends to be more social when there’s music on.

In his spare time, Daniel enjoys playing video games and watching television with friends and family. He also likes to play basketball. Still, at the end of a long day, nothing brings him more peace and joy than spending quality time with his pets.


Sydney

Sydney

Veterinarian Assistant


When Sydney was a little girl, she informed her parents that she wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She just knew deep down that working with animals and making an impact on their lives was her calling. As a veterinary assistant here at Wadsworth Animal Hospital, Sydney is one step closer to her goal and enjoying every step of the journey along the way!

Prior to becoming a part of the Wadsworth family, Sydney spent a few years as a kennel cleaner and then a short time at another clinic gaining valuable skills and hands-on experience. Professionally, Sydney enjoys administering vaccinations and helping the veterinary technicians. Whether it’s running diagnostics, or holding patients, she is eager to assist in any way she can!

Outside of the clinic, Sydney is very close with her parents and grandmother. The family has three shih tzus. Maverick is athletic and a total cuddle bug, Camden is a grumpy old man, and Gizzy is sweet and loves all creatures, from babies to cats and everything in between.

In addition to animals, Sydney’s other passion is dancing, which she did competitively for more than a decade. When she’s not busy working at the clinic, she serves as crew chief for her dad’s race team and is currently in the process of building her own truck to race as well.

A Colorado native, Jennifer Neuber has always had an affinity for helping animals. She especially enjoys watching puppies grow up and playing a role in keeping them healthy!

Jennifer was with her previous employer for more than 20 years. There, she started out working in the kennel area and worked her way up to Veterinary Technician and Assistant. She joined the Wadsworth team in 2020 and hasn’t missed a beat!

Jessalynn

Jessalynn

Veterinary Technician


Born and raised in Denver, Jessalynn’s family always had pets of some sort, whether it was dogs, hamsters, fish, or some other creature. As a child, she fondly recalls sitting in front of the TV, mesmerized by shows about animals. As she grew older, Jessalynn knew she wanted to help animals on a professional level. Becoming a veterinary technician has allowed her to fulfill her lifelong dream!

Jessalynn started out as at the front desk but her desire to be more hands-on with the patients inspired her to learn more and she eventually worked her way up to a more technical role. Professionally, she loves getting to know patients and bonding with them through regular visits and routine care. She also enjoys seeing sick patients get better and knowing she played a role in their recovery.

At home, Jessalynn has one fur child of her own: an Italian mastiff named Gypsy, whom she refers to as her pride and joy.


Kazzi

Kazzi

Veterinary Technician


Kazzi grew up surrounded by animals – from dogs and cats to birds, iguanas, ferrets and sugar gliders. With each relationship, her love and passion for animal care grew stronger and she knew in her heart that she wanted to do whatever she could to help preserve the relationship from human to furry companion. It came as no surprise, then, that working with animals would ultimately become her career.

Kazzi’s journey began as a kitten foster. The first litter she received was gravely ill, and while two of the three sadly didn’t make it, one did – thanks to Kazzi’s patience and determination. Several litters later, she was promoted to the title of Kitten Coordinator, where she enjoyed pairing kittens with their “furever” homes. From there, she moved on to a receptionist role and worked her way up from assistant to technician. She joined the Wadsworth family in May of 2022. 

On the job, Kazzi enjoys talking with clients and helping them understand the medical aspect of their pets’ health. There is always something new to learn in the veterinary field, and Kazzi loves being able to pass along that knowledge to other pet owners. Clinically, she has a special interest in veterinary dentistry and finds tremendous satisfaction in cleaning abscesses.

At home, Kazzi’s fur family consists of two sweet kitties: Ian and Lela. Ian was the lone survivor from her first fostered litter. Lela, another foster, got along so well with Ian that Kazzi decided she had to stay. Then there is Wigs – a tarantula who is sweet but still somewhat terrifying. 

In her spare time, Kazzi likes to focus on her other passion: art – whether it’s animating, painting, watercolor, sewing, sculpting, or sketching. She loved art so much that she made a promise when she was a kid that she was going to graduate with an art degree. Kazzi officially graduated from RMCAD with a degree in 2D animation.

Shantell

Shantell

Veterinary Technician


Throughout her entire life, Shantell has always had a soft spot for animals. When she was just a kid, a stray kitten wandered into her school. The faculty went to every classroom asking if anyone wanted to bring the kitty home. Shantell choked up at the thought that nobody wanted this precious baby, so of course she stepped up to the plate and brought her home. As a veterinary technician, Shantell loves being a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Following high school, Shantell got a job as a receptionist at a local animal ER. A year later, she was promoted to technician and began regularly assisting with emergency cases. She soon found herself wanting to work in a slower-paced environment, however, and decided to pivot to a general practice clinic. There she worked her way up from technician to practice manager. After relocating from Louisiana to Colorado, Shantell joined the Wadsworth Animal Hospital team. Professionally, she has a special interest in dental cleanings.

Outside of work, Shantell lives with her partner Dustin and their two dogs, Riot and Kyra, both of whom are gray pit bulls who love to eat, sleep, and repeat. In her spare time, Shantell enjoys roller skating – a passion that was ignited during Covid. Learning new tricks on skates is incredibly empowering, and she’s learned a lot about herself through the experience as well. Shantell also has an art business on the side, through which she makes beautiful displays that enable insects who have passed away to live on forever.
