Marisa Newman moved to the Dallas area from Sarasota, Florida, where she was born and raised. Though she is new to the area, she is not new to city life, and so far Dallas has brought her great enjoyment. Her love for animals continues to grow at Metro Paws Animal Hospital. Recently, she adopted three beautiful young rats. Yes, RATS! She loves to play 'chase', 'fetch', and 'tackle' with the boys. She's certain that they love it, too. Previously in her hometown, she worked at Sarasota Animal Hospital. It was always a delight to come into work and see big, beautiful, fluffy faces. She moved to Dallas with her passions in mind of taking care of animals and working with the people who love them. Some of Marisa's hobbies include: fire dancing (Poi), traveling, crocheting, reading, cooking, constructing / playing didgeridoos, and making toys for her gorgeous ratties. Marisa is engaged to her bestfriend, Eric Drobile. Eric Drobile is a Character Animator at Reel FX, where he creates computer generated animals all day long.
