Maija Smith

Maija moved from Wisconsin to Lexington in 2017. She started by getting a degree in Equine Studies and worked as an exercise rider at Keeneland here in Lexington for 3 years. Her love and passion for animals has led her to her next chapter here at Green Tree Animal Hospital after getting her second degree to become a veterinary technician.

When she is not applying her passion and knowledge at work, she enjoys being the best pet mom to her dog Brogan, her two cats Meeko and Percy, as well as her horse Jewels. She also dabbles in amateur photography and enjoys relaxing with family and friends!

Maija plans to keep furthering her career with continued education and adding specialties and certifications to her repertoire.
