About Donna

A Bucks County native, Donna Steckley found her calling early, starting in the veterinary field while in high school as a kennel helper, and never looked back. Her hands-on experience as a veterinary nurse eventually led her into leadership, and she spent 21 years as the Hospital Administrator at the Center for Animal Referral and Emergency Services.

Before joining Friends, Donna served as a Director of Operations for a network of specialty and emergency hospitals, guiding teams and supporting high-quality veterinary care.

Donna lives in Bucks County with her wife, their daughter, and their four dogs. When she's not working, she enjoys watching her daughter play softball or exploring local breweries.
