Emily, Managing Technician

Hi, I’m Emily, and I’m the managing technician here at New Richmond Veterinary Clinic and have been here since 2014. I have a bachelor of science degree in agricultural and Animal Science and am currently enrolled in a PT Vet Tech program. I pride myself on having a compassionate heart and hand. Veterinary medicine is about pets and people. Helping owners understand their pet’s needs is one of the most important ways to improve their lives. I pride myself on having a compassionate heart and hand because I know veterinary medicine is about pets AND people. I have a particular interest in nutrition and geriatric care and support. In my free time, I love spending time in the outdoors, hiking, kayaking, and traveling. I also love reading, cooking, art, and music. My favorite thing is hanging out with my family and my silly dog. I also have an affinity for horses and wild birds.
