Meet our New Staff ~ Fall 2024

Shared by Bast Lang & Yaneli Silva

Bast Lang (They/Them or Ze/Zir)
My name is Bast and I am both a full-time veterinary technician, and a full-time student in animal science and behaviour. However, I spend the majority of my time being interactive furniture for my four cats, and getting bossed around by my service dog. I am a transplant from the west, and am still learning to appreciate this city! Whenever I am not cuddling with my fur babies, I am often going on little adventures around the area, and have a lot of travel experience! Otherwise, my hobbies are rather plain; I enjoy writing, playing music, wire-wrapping crystal jewelry, and binge-watching anime. I am excited to meet you and your pets!

Yaneli Silva (She/Her)

I graduated from the University of Illinois in 2022 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Science. I have a passion for helping people and animals which is why I love being in this field. I applied to vet school this year with hopes of becoming a small animal veterinarian.

I own a 3 year old mini lop rabbit named Eevee. In my free time, I enjoy reading books, spending time with my family, and exploring new spots around the city.
