Irina, Practice Manager. Irina joined the MBF team in 2019 as the Practice Manager. She is married to Dr. Tim and is the co-owner of My Best Friend.
Irina’s first career was in scientific research. After obtaining a master’s degree in microbiology from Purdue University, she spent the next 10 years working in human research at Washington University and University of Missouri.
In 2019 she decided to transition into veterinary medicine. While her main responsibility is to take care of the administrative side of things, you’ll often find her assisting the vet techs and receptionists. She also takes care of the fish tank you see in the MBF lobby. At home, Irina has 2 children, a sassy cat named Rosie, a stubborn French Bulldog named Corndog (named by their daughter when she was 5), and a bunch of fish that don’t have names.
