Brittany Pinto Online Pharmacy Specialist

Brittany Pinto | Online Pharmacy Specialist

Brittany was born to a Puerto Rican and Salvadorian family and raised in Miami, Florida. Relocating to Austin, TX, she will be joining the Innovetive Petcare in her journey through the veterinary field as an Online Pharmacy Technician. In 2020, Brittany graduated from Florida International University with a Bachelor's in Biological Sciences and a minor in Chemistry while on the pre-veterinary track.
Brittany has worked under a shelter clinic, two general practices, and a 24-hour emergency and trauma center for animals. Being in the field for 6 years, she worked as a kennel assistant, then a technician, a customer service representative, and a patient care coordinator on our team. These roles have molded her into the person she is today: a skilled communicator that connects clients and patients to the best veterinary care.
Even outside of work, Brittany still finds time to volunteer at shelter centers and offer extra hands or donations. A nature lover at heart, she loves hiking, biking, and kayaking and finding hidden spots to relax with her husky, Bleu.
