While Amber Elalem works as a vet tech, she’s better known for her work on social media. She frequently shares short videos on TikTok about what it’s really like to be a vet tech. Her videos include things like what vet techs really think of your dog breed, what your dog is thinking at the vet, and what vets are actually doing with your puppy during curbside. (You guessed it. That longer wait is due to mad puppy play time.)

 But, did you know that she owes fate for meeting the love of her life, Dr. Cristen Nichols.

See how fate stepped in to Amber’s life and how they keep their romance hot!

How we met:

We met on a plane heading to St. Kitts. We sat next to each other and started talking. It was fate!

When I knew she was the one:

We started out talking on the plane and we bonded over vet med.  She was the person who shared my passion of veterinary medicine and could truly understand the good, bad, and ugly of the industry. Most of all we just meshed together very well right off the bat. She was in vet school at the time and we did have to work around school demands to keep our relationship strong.

How we make it work:

Communication is key. We make sure each other feels heard and seen.
