Debra Allison Gooley

I have lived in the Santa Maria area for nearly 40 years. I received education at Allan Hancock College in health care. I was a nursing assistant, then advanced to Licensed Vocational Nurse. In 1992 I achieved my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. I have worked in most areas of nursing specializing in Home Care and Hospice.

During my entire life I have been an animal lover, having had multiple animals and showing dogs in the competitive ring. I have had Arab horses, miniature horses, many dogs of various breeds, and a pet pig. I’ve provided foster care for many animals awaiting adoption through animal service agencies.

At this time in my life I want to pursue my love for animals by giving my skills to the health needs of animals. I know that my past experiences will be an asset in this pursuit.
