Joyce Shimizu

Veterinary Technician

Joyce was born and raised on the island of Kaua’i. Graduated in 2014 from The University of Hawai’i at Manoa with her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. She was employed at Kapa’a Animal Clinic on Kauai as a Veterinary Technician until recently moving to O’ahu to start a new chapter in her life. She joined Kaka’ako Pet Hospital in February 2016.

In her spare time, she likes to catch up on her Korean dramas or take a drive around the island. She recently adopted an adorable Chihuahua Yorkie puppy named Haruko who also spends time at the hospital with her.

She loves working with animals and helping them feel better, and that is why she chose to be a veterinary technician as a career.
