Chyna Nellons

Emergency & Critical Care Assistant

Chyna was born and raised in Philadelphia, where her favorite aspect is the vibrant food culture. She often travels down south to visit her family in Salley, South Carolina, and Columbus, where she relishes the delicious cuisine, quality time with loved ones, and the endless adventures that await. The warmth and kindness of the people in the south truly resonate with her.

From a young age, Chyna discovered her deep passion for animals, largely influenced by her uncle's farm. Her mother quickly recognized Chyna’s fearless attitude towards animals, including snakes, and Chyna made it clear early on that her life's mission would involve helping animals. On the farm, her favorite creatures are horses; she enjoys the challenge of gaining their trust and the exhilarating sense of freedom she experiences while riding them.

After graduating from high school, Chyna embarked on her academic path at Albright College before transferring to Eastern University. She is now on the brink of earning her degree in Biology with a focus on Pre-Veterinary Medicine. During her freshman year, Chyna launched her veterinary career by gaining experience at a local veterinary hospital, where she found immense fulfillment in caring for animals and helping reunite them with their families.

In addition to her veterinary ambitions, Chyna harbors a strong passion for fashion. One of her aspirations is to establish a pet boutique that elegantly blends her love for animals with her flair for style. In her free time, Chyna often indulges in self-care rituals at the salon, nail spa, and gym. Having participated in dance and sports since the age of three, she applies the same dedication and discipline to all aspects of her life, especially her commitment to physical fitness.

When she’s not working out, Chyna delights in discovering new restaurants with friends, showcasing her appreciation for a variety of cuisines, particularly her current favorites of Mediterranean and Asian dishes. Family is also a vital part of her life, whether it involves weekend getaways or visiting relatives in the south.
