The best part of my job is dealing with pet behaviour. I love learning new ways to assist clients in managing problems and helping them create a stronger bond.
Outside of work, I spend my time with my two beautiful daughters, Anna and Olivia and husband Jason. I share my home with my two whippets Oskee and Ivy, an orange tabby named Pez, and our newest addition, a Persian mix named Phil. I have a passion for dog training and behaviour. I also enjoy hiking, photography and reading a variety of fiction
I live in Stoney Creek with my husband John and our combined family! I have always had a love for all animals and it shows with my collage of pets – dogs, cats and a horse (though not at my house)! I have soft spot for barn kittens needing a new home so if you need a new fur baby please let me know.
When not at work, I spend my time looking after my very busy household. I also enjoy a nice glass of wine.
My husband and I settled in Binbrook and now share all of our couch space with two young kids, two cats and a senior Beagle mutt. When I am not at the hospital or running around with the kiddos, you can catch me getting dirty in the garden or playing competitive soccer.
I graduated from the University of Guelph with an Honours degree majoring in Zoology. There I found my passion for marine invertebrates but unfortunately, you won't find any of them here in Hamilton. In 2019 I was lucky enough to go snorkelling in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (the second-largest barrier reef in the world) and in the future, I hope to see more of the world's oceans.
In my free time, I love being outside and going for Pokemon Go walks with my boyfriend, bird-watching, or running. On cold or rainy days, you can find me crocheting, reading or snuggling with my senior cat Bella.
When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my family, baking up delicious treats (of course bringing some for everyone at work), and managing the chaos of the 3 cats in my household, most of which were rescues or strays!
I live in Stoney Creek with my mom; I also have 2 older sisters named Brooke & Taylor who both have cats. I currently have a hamster named Myrtle and a German Shepherd named Koda (aka bubbas). I have another part-time job as a professional, residential, and commercial cleaner. I enjoy working and feeling like I have a purpose in life. When I’m not working, I like to spend time with family/ friends and I enjoy my daily walks with my dog Koda.
I’ve spent my whole life thus far working in all disciplines in the equine industry. I graduated from Ridgetown with honours in the Performance Horse Handler Program in 2016 and spent the next 6 years exercising and training thoroughbred race horses. Although horses have always had my heart, it was time to take on a new and great opportunity to work with all of your furry friends here at the clinic.
I am the proud mom of my little miracle kitty Libbi, my Percheron Manny who is not so little, and Miss Deja my American Bully. In July 2023, I had to say goodbye to the love of my life; my Ellie Belly Bully lost her battle to osteosarcoma and in the end she needed to cross the rainbow bridge. I believe a small piece of her is still with me since Deja is Ellie’s beautiful niece who I love to keep busy on constant new adventures.
I look forward to seeing all of your fur babies everyday and coming home to explain to mine where I’ve been all day without them.
She was our unofficial emotional support cat and we'd often go give her a snuggle after a particularly difficult case. As much as we loved her, her health issues had us questioning whether she still had quality of life or if we were being selfish because it was too hard to let her go. Thank you for everything Esmerelda. Loving you has made us all better.
I started my journey back in high school when I started volunteering at my local animal hospital. I graduated from St. Lawrence College with honors in 2022 and soon after wrote my board exams to become a Registered Veterinary Technologist.
Outside of work, I love to play guitar, soccer and spend time outdoors with my friends and family. You will often find me baking, reading a good book, or playing with my two dogs Gracie and Zoey.
Inspired by this experience, I went on to study at Sheridan College in the Animal Care program, which led me to pursue the Veterinary Technician program at Northern College, where I graduated in 2010. I have now been in the veterinary field for 21 years, with 14 years as a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT).
I am passionate about caring for animals and seeing them recover and improve. I also enjoy working on interesting cases and contributing innovative ideas to help in their healing process. Beyond patient care, I find great joy in teaching others. I love sharing different techniques and procedures to promote the best care for our patients and fostering a strong work ethic in the clinic.
I have 2 dogs named Buckshot and Tony. Buckshot is an older gentleman and he enjoys his stuffed animals and snuggling with his daddy. Tony is the younger one – he has a serious ball obsession and loves snuggling with mom. The handsome kitty cat is named Mr Fox – he is the king of the house and loves spending time with his brothers while occasionally reminding them who’s the boss.
A fun fact about me is that I’m currently learning astrophotography—it’s fascinating to explore the vastness of our universe and ponder life’s greater mysteries.
