Courtney - Veterinary Assistant with OVH since 2005

Courtney was raised with animals and remembers them as always being an integral part of the family. Courtney currently has three mischievous kitties named "Nibblet," "Hy -Purr" and "Spaz."

Courtney came to us with a heart filled with compassion and an appreciation for the human-animal bond that we all share.  She states, "It has truly been a great experience being able to work with the animals and build relationships with their human companions, our clients."

Courtney's main professional goal is to continue to expand her knowledge base in the field and continue to offer the excellent patient care she is known for. 

Outside of work, Courtney enjoys family time with her husband Dan.  She can also be found painting and drawing or relaxing with friends and family.

Danyale - Veterinary Assistant with OVH since 2006

Danyale was born and raised in Oregon City, Oregon, and most of her family is nearby, except her father in Arizona.

Danyale has a variety of pets, including "Spike,"  "Blanca," "Ice" and "Ayla" (the kitty foursome), and "Chaulko," her handsome Pit Bull mix.

Danyale began her career with OVH as an Animal Caretaker in the Kennel Department and worked her way into the Technical Department as a Veterinary Assistant, where her skill set continues to grow daily alongside her natural talent for animal nursing.

Jeremy - Veterinary Assistant with OVH since 2007  

New York-born Jeremy has spent most of his life in the veterinary world.  He grew up in a family that spent years associated with veterinary school and with practicing veterinary medicine.  While he gives his heart to his patients at OVH, he is actually owned by a rebellious terrier named "Sitka" who is beautiful, athletic, smart and trouble on paws.

Jeremy spends his spare time enjoying outdoor activities and also working as a professional DJ.

Stephanie - CVT with OVH since 2010  

Stephanie grew up on a small farm in NW Washington where she was very active in the Future Farmers of America organization as well as 4-H. She moved to Portland in 2001 to attend Portland Community College for their Certified Veterinary Technician program and became a CVT in 2003.

She enjoys all the wonderful sights and sounds that the Pacific Northwest has to offer:  hiking, walks, dog parks, bike riding and snowboarding. Stephanie's artistic side comes to life as she works with glass, photography and crafts.

Stephanie was walking her dog down a Portland street one day when she ran into a man walking his dog also - Stephanie and he (and the dogs) hit it off and have been happily married since 2007. Stephanie and her husband welcomed their son into the world in early 2008.

Their family also includes two gray cats named Sweet Nuisance and Pest Toe (she's missing a toe and apparently Italian). Porsche is their precious princess, an American Staffordshire Terrier and recent cancer survivor who just happens to have three legs.
