Makaia's favorite part about working at Ghent and Granby Veterinary Hospital is the opportunity to always ask questions. She appreciates that her colleagues take the time to teach her not only the "how," but also the "why" behind every task they perform.
Makaia has a feline companion named Roku. Since the first time she picked him up and he meowed, he hasn't really stopped! Roku is quite particular about his water—he'll only drink it if it has ice cubes, so he now expects ice every time Makaia goes to the refrigerator.
When she's not at work, Makaia loves to binge-watch TV shows and movies. Recently, she's also gotten into Sudoku puzzles, even completing her first Sudoku book after a month of on-and-off work. Her go-to comfort food is any food with potatoes, especially french fries, and the saltier, the better!
A fun fact about Makaia that most people don't know is that she loves pigs! What always makes her day better is a good sweet treat, with her favorites being ice cream or freshly baked cookies.
Makaia's favorite season is fall. She loves the weather, which offers a perfect mix of being warm enough to enjoy time outside and cool enough for hot cocoa and a movie. She also enjoys fall activities like going to haunted houses, good food, and spending time with family.
