Patty truly is Patty and not Patricia and she has been around and enjoyed animals all her life. Patty knew the veterinary profession was in her future since the age of five, but states "It just took me a while to get here". Patty grew up in Iowa and moved to the Portland area in 2004 with her husband and 2 cats. Since then she has graduated with a degree in Veterinary Technology, passed the national boards to become a Certified Licensed Technician and added a third cat to her household. Her love for all creatures great and small keeps her motivated and maintains her high standards of care for every animal entrusted to her.
Courtney was raised with animals and remembers them as always being an integral part of the family. Although Courtney currently has one kitty named "Nibblet", with a feisty personality that keeps her busy, she hopes to add a dog to the family when they have a bit more room.
Courtney has spent her years here at OVH increasing her confidence, skill and knowledge of the profession and she enthusiastically thanks the doctor’s and staff here at OVH for their mentoring. But Courtney came to us with a heart filled with compassion and an appreciation for the human-animal bond that we all share and she states "It has truly been a great experience being able to work with the animals and build relationships with them and their owners, our clients".
Courtney’s main professional goal is to continue to expand her knowledge base in the field in hopes of becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician and OVH will be there to support her towards that goal.
Outside of work Courtney can be found painting and drawing or relaxing with friends and family.
