Dr. Nicholls’ Veterinary Journey

She appreciates Sploot's all-in-one approach to veterinary medicine, extended hours, and availability 365 days a year, which help pet parents access comprehensive care when they need it. Her favorite part of working at Sploot is the supportive team and culture.

Outside of Work

Outside the clinic, Dr. Nicholls enjoys hiking, camping, reading, traveling, gardening, and baking. She is also a devoted pet parent to five animals: three dogs named Ernie, Sage, and Porter, and two cats named Twiggy and Juniper. Ernie, her 15-year-old Chihuahua mix, holds a particularly special place in her heart, as the first pet she welcomed into her life after becoming a veterinarian. He remains her "best good boy" among her cherished fur babies.
