He completed his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from UFV before pursuing veterinary medicine. He has a keen interest in surgery and physiotherapy.

VETERINARY TECHNICIAN

I grew up in Ontario and always admired BC and the beauty it has to offer. I have always had a keen interest in the veterinary profession and am blessed to be able to pursue my passion. I am currently enrolled in the Veterinary Technician program at the University of Guelph and truly enjoying the practical experience and mentoring at Vedder Mountain Veterinary Clinic. My hobbies (other than cuddling animals) include biking, hiking, and attempting to capture BC’s beauty in artwork.

VETERINARY ASSISTANT

For as long as I can remember, working with animals has always been something I’ve been passionate towards. I am currently studying at UFV doing my prerequisites for veterinary school. At present, I am the parent of two very sweet lovebirds, Mango & Rio! Outside of my school and work life I enjoy activities such as reading, cooking, traveling, and various physical activities such as hiking and skiing.

VETERINARY ASSISTANT

I was born in a small town and grew up around many different kinds of animals and people, and I always had a good relationship with both. When I got older, I wanted to pursue learning about the health and well-being of animals and creating strong relationships with their owners and people who care for them. I have several years of experience with animals. It is my goal to ensure that the owners of the animals we take in knowing exactly what is going on and have the confidence to trust us with their animals, and more importantly, their family.

VETERINARY ASSISTANT

As a kid, I always had the biggest soft spot for animals. I was always that kind who brought home injured or stray animals to make sure they got the care they needed. I knew from that point that I needed to be in a career that contributes to the well-being of animals. I feel privileged to get this opportunity to start off my career at Vedder Mountain Veterinary Clinic, working along side such a highly motivated team.

VETERINARY ASSISTANT

Chilliwack has always been my home. My pets have always been family. Vedder Mountain Veterinary Clinic is a practice that I am proud to work for because, as a local, family-owned practice, they have a strong commitment to community and our pets. Our veterinarians and all of our staff are committed to the health and well-being of animals. Working alongside such motivated and invested coworkers is definitely an added benefit. Aside from work, I am currently studying with the hopes of pursuing a career in Wildlife Biology. If we meet, it won’t take long for you to realize that I am an avid skier and hiker. You can often find me scaling a new mountain or taking advantage of the BC powder on my days off.

CLIENT CARE REPRESENTATIVE

I grew up in a home filled with birds. My mom also runs a bird store in Alberta, which really influenced and inspired my love for all animals. Having this opportunity to work with and care for our clients’ pets has been an extremely rewarding experience and for that, I am very grateful to everyone who has helped me get to where I am today. I love working at Vedder Mountain Veterinary Clinic as it gives me immense joy in caring for animals and helping clients.

CLIENT CARE REPRESENTATIVE

Having had pets all of my life, I was excited to become a part of the Vedder Mountain Veterinary team. I am semi-retired and when not at the clinic, I can be found playing golf, hiking or biking.

CLIENT CARE REPRESENTATIVE

I have been an admirer of animals ever since I was born. Growing up, my family always had pets including lizards, budgies, dogs and cats. I am passionate about learning about the well-being of both animals and humans as I pursue a degree in biochemistry from UFV.
