Laura Marricle grew up in Roswell, New Mexico on a dairy farm where she developed her passion for animals at a young age. Many of her mornings were spent helping her dad take care of the herd. She started volunteering in vet clinics during high school and that confirmed her passion to help animals. After high school, she started working at a small animal and equine practice, expanding her knowledge base. She continued to help her dad on the dairies and that is where she met her now husband, Dr. Marricle. While ensuring the herd was healthy, they fell in love over their common interests.
Over the years, they went on many adventures together including an emergency trip to do relief work in Texas after Hurricane Harvey. That is where Laura realized she greatly enjoyed emergency and critical care work. Shortly after that trip, they decided to move the family to Arizona.
