Amy
Veterinary Assistant
Amy was born in Germany but has spent most of her life in the PNW. She has had a lifelong passion for animals and has worked in vet-med since 2020. Outside of work she enjoys, hiking, skiing, playing video games, and watching movies.

Kaitlyn
Veterinary Assistant
Kaitlyn grew up in Chino Hills, California and recently moved to Washington with her partner. She attended Colorado State University, where she received a BS in zoology while working at a sheep and goat biomedical research laboratory. She then discovered her love for wildlife and spent two years working as a seasonal wildlife technician, where she aided in the research of threatened and endangered species in Idaho and Wyoming. She now is excited to get back into the veterinary field and spread her love of caring for all species. In her free time, Kaitlyn enjoys spending time with her three cats, caring for her school of dojo loaches, backpacking, and flying kites near the ocean.

Amanda
Veterinary Assistant
Amanda was born in Mountain View, CA and moved to the PNW shortly after. She grew up with ferrets, great pyranees, labs, and beagles and has had a lifelong passion for animals her whole life. She graduated from the University of Oregon and moved to Vancouver with her husband. She also works as a web designer and outside of her professional pursuits, she enjoys reading, cinema, video games, and working out.

James
Veterinary Assistant
With over 13 years in the industry, James’s heart has always been in small animal medicine, where he finds genuine joy in the daily puzzles of patient care and the precision of veterinary dentistry. Most of his career was built in the Portland metro area, though he took a memorable detour to Alaska during the COVID-19 pandemic to focus on his most important role yet: raising his newborn daughter and, later, his son. Now back in the PNW and back in the clinic, he balances his love for animal health with his passion for the great outdoors. You’ll often find him recharging on the trails at Silver Falls or taking in the views from Saddle Mountain, though he’s just as likely to swap the forest greenery for the high desert sun of Joshua Tree. Whether he’s assisting in a complex dental procedure or exploring a new trailhead, James brings a steady, personal touch to everything he does.

Tessa
Veterinary Assistant/Client Service Representative
Tessa has been working in the veterinary field for almost 5 years. She has loved and been interested in working in animal medicine since she was young. Tessa strives to learn the most that she can to help others have a better understanding of their animals!

Isabella
Veterinary Assistant/Client Service Representative
Isabella’s passion for animals led her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Being able to help care for pets and support the people who love them is something she is most proud of. Outside of work, Isabella enjoys spending time with her friends, family, and two cats.

Rylie
Client Service Representative
I was born in Keflavik Iceland, both parents were in the military and met there and had my sister, brother and I. We traveled to Maine shortly after and then drove across the US to the PNW. I’ve have several animals throughout my childhood ranging from dogs (golden retrievers, dachshunds, German shepherds, frenchies etc..) birds, bunnies, chickens, horses. I’ve always been an animal lover, I’ve just had more of a connection and love for animals than I did anything else. I didn’t want to do soccer or softball, I always wanted to be on the back of a horse or running through the yard with my dogs. I’ve always wanted to be apart of vetmed and share the love I have with animals with my colleagues and clients. Outside of work I love reading, hiking and spending time with my family and animals.

Cam
Client Service Representative
Cam grew up in Vancouver and has spent the past eight years caring for animals of all temperaments and energy levels. As a veterinary receptionist, she loves connecting with clients, helping pets feel comfortable, and keeping things organized behind the scenes. She is currently a college student and enjoys balancing her passion for animals with her academic goals.
Outside of work, Camden enjoys creative projects, spending time with all different kinds of pets, and going to a variety of concerts and shows.

Cashé
Client Service Representative
Cashé is a veterinary receptionist and experienced veterinary assistant with over 8 years in the field and a lifelong love for animals.
