She worked for a Beverly Hills dermatologist, and then the American Heart Association, before finding a career as a research manager for a national news organization. Charlotte spent years helping her grandparents with the family farm, where they raised horses, a milk cow named Pearl, hundreds of chickens, and a variety of dogs and cats.

Basha joined MAEVC as a client care specialist but has evolved into a jack of all trades, also assisting the doctors and managing the hospital inventory.
Outside of her early start working at a small TV station, most of her professional career has been caring for clients and their animals, whether it be managing dog and cat boarding services or providing nutritional information to exotic animal owners at large retailers. She has a passion for meeting people, hearing their stories, and finding the best ways to help them.
She spends her down time hiking with her fiancé and tending to her growing plant collection. Basha owns two guinea pigs (Ginzo and Grendel), and a fiesty rabbit (named Nasty!)
Deneise graduated from Mount St. Mary's University with a B.S. in Health Sciences and minor in Psychology.
She grew up in the Philippines with her grandparents until she was 13 years old. She helped her grandparents look after their farm and properties. Deneise has always enjoyed taking care of animals like their pigs, chickens, dogs and karabaos (swamp-type water buffalo).
Deneise was on the road of pursuing a degree in Nursing but had a shift of interest and decided to work with animals. Prior to joining the MAEVC team, Deneise was a photographer and a dogwalker. She currently has five guinea pigs and four hamsters - if she had a bigger space, without a doubt she would take in more pigs. Other than taking pictures of pigs and hamster during play time, Deneise also likes to play videogames, to try all sorts of food and to travel places near and far.
