About Us / Our Team

Originally from Fort Myers, Florida, Dr. Rosales earned her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from the University of Florida. During her undergraduate studies, she worked her way from kennel technician to veterinary technician, an experience that solidified her passion for veterinary medicine and sparked her dream of becoming a veterinarian while seeing the world. That dream took her to Brisbane, Australia, where she was accepted into the veterinary program at the University of Queensland.

After graduating in 2019, Dr. Rosales and her family returned to the United States in early 2020, where she began practicing in a small private clinic. While she enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine, her true passion lies in small animal surgery.

Outside of work, Dr. Rosales loves family outings, hiking, skiing, road trips, and all things adventure. These passions inspired her family’s recent move to Utah, where they’re excited to explore the state’s incredible landscapes. She lives with her husband, children, and their beloved Norwegian Forest cat, Mufasa, who’s been part of the family since their time in Australia.

Dr. Taylore Adkison earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University and brings a deep passion for preventative care, internal medicine, and oncology. Known for her compassionate nature and attention to detail, Dr. Adkison believes that the best veterinary care is a collaborative effort—because sometimes, it truly takes a village.

Dr. McKenna Walters grew up on a cattle ranch in small town Erda, Utah, where she fostered an endless love for all animals – whether they be large, small, exotic, or wild. She has always wanted to be a veterinarian, so she went on to earn her Bachelor’s degree in Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences from Utah State University, while volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and working in an animal science research lab. She was then accepted to the WIMU Veterinary Medicine Program, spending two more years at USU, then two at Washington State University.

Throughout her life, education, and career, Dr. Walters has dabbled in and loved a lot of areas of veterinary medicine, ranging from small animal preventative health, to large animal reproduction, and even wildlife rehabilitation. However, she has found that she has a strong affinity for small animal surgery and internal medicine, which appeal to her nature as an empathetic lifelong caregiver and dedicated problem-solver.

When she’s not working, Dr. Walters enjoys hiking, making and gifting handicrafts like sassy cross-stitching, spending time with her siblings and friends, and especially reading, while surrounded in her comfortably chaotic home by her Newfoundland and Chiweenie, Ren and Penny, and her four cats, Kitty, Blue, Harvey, and Shadow.

Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve been working in veterinary medicine since 2020, and I’m excited to grow my skills at Monarch while working toward my long-term goal of attending veterinary school. I’m especially passionate about making vet visits less stressful for pets and their people, and I always aim to approach each patient with empathy, patience, and a gentle hand.

At home, I have a German Shepherd named Bruce and a black cat named Boo. When I’m not at the clinic, I love reading dystopian fiction, watching movie marathons, and recharging whenever I can.

“Hi, I’m Mazie! I have had a love for all animals since I was a kid. I’ve been in this field since 2020 and continue to enjoy learning about, and caring for animals.

Outside of work I enjoy hiking, camping, attending concerts and traveling with my dog Jagger. I have a cat named Luci (short for Lucifer), and she prefers staying home for cuddles!”

“Hi, I’m Mia, and I’ve been passionate about veterinary medicine since I was a kid! My love for animals has driven me towards pursuing a career as a veterinarian someday, and I’m dedicated to supporting my team and ensuring the gold standard of care for both people and pets.

In my free time I enjoy cuddling with my three cats (Ziggy, Zora, and Zin), playing video games, hiking, bird watching, and insect hunting.”

Zoie is enduring, upbeat, and brings a steady positivity to every shift. She’s the kind of tech who keeps going, keeps smiling, and keeps patients feeling supported from start to finish. Outside of work, Zoie loves puzzles and anything that presents a challenge.

There’s no one quite like Jarrett—and that’s exactly how we like it. As the owner and manager of Monarch Veterinary Hospital, he’s the steady hand steering the ship, the first one to roll up his sleeves, and the last one to leave.

He’s the kind of person who can balance a budget while piping frosting onto a perfectly golden cupcake. A fan of 80’s pop music and a walking encyclopedia of canine trivia, Jarrett brings equal parts heart and humor to the clinic every day. His tattoos tell stories, his brownies win awards (at least, unofficially among the staff), and his care for the team—both two- and four-legged—is unmatched.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find him volunteering at the local library, testing out a new baking recipe, or organizing his ever-growing vinyl collection. A true family-man who loves days with them at splash mountain. There is nothing like a day at the park with his whole family.  He’s got a soft spot for scruffy faces, good conversation, and community connection.

With Jarrett at the helm, Monarch Veterinary Hospital is more than a clinic—it’s a place where everyone feels at home, tails are wagging, and the playlist is always on point.

Hey, my name is Lianna and you’ll usually find me right up front at Monarch; welcoming clients, supporting the team, and making sure everything runs smoothly. With a background in customer service and employee retention, I love helping people feel cared for, whether it’s their first visit or their tenth. I wear a lot of hats here; from scheduling and software updates to photography and jumping in during emergencies, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m deeply curious about veterinary medicine and always lead with kindness and patience. At home, I’m married with two IVF miracle babies; a toddler and a baby who are my EVERYTHING. We live with three wonderfully unique cats, including my youngest, who’s part bodyguard, part snuggle-bug. I’m also an artist, illustrator, and longtime anime and Pokémon fan. Being part of a team that values compassion, creativity, and community makes Monarch feel like exactly where I’m meant to be!

Frankie has called Monarch home for the better part of a year, and he’s made himself fully comfortable. Full of personality and a little bit spicy, Frankie keeps our team on their toes—but he’s also deeply attached to his people and loves attention on his own terms.

These days, he spends his time supervising the hospital, claiming the best nap spots, and making sure everyone remembers that he runs this place now. He may be spoiled, opinionated, and just a touch dramatic, but Frankie has become a beloved part of the Monarch family.
