Tani began her journey at Elmhurst Animal Care Center in 2016 as a Veterinary Assistant. After a few years, she stepped away to work with underprivileged communities, helping coordinate access to veterinary care through low-cost and vaccine clinics, as well as transportation support. In 2024, Tani returned to EACC as our Assistant Manager, bringing her passion for animal welfare and community outreach full circle.

Originally from Northern Illinois, Tani moved to the Chicagoland area in 2012 and now lives in Westmont with her wife and their two beloved pups, Saki and Winnie. In her spare time, she enjoys attending concerts, traveling, camping, biking, fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling. A lifelong baseball fan, she never misses a chance to cheer on her favorite team — Go Cubs Go!
