I joined Burlington Veterinary Center in 2013 as an associate veterinarian. I graduated from Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine earlier that spring in 2013. This position served as a reason to move from my roots in New York State to Connecticut. Since moving, I have married my husband Mike and we had our son, Anthony.  In a few weeks I look forward to adding his little sister to this mix. We proudly share our home with our dog and bearded dragon, Cairo and Spiga.

Since starting at the Burlington Veterinary Center my interests have evolved a bit and I have pursued continuing education in eastern medicine, specifically acupuncture, as well as ultrasound. I have developed greater interest in internal medicine over the past several years and look forward to growing this knowledge for years to come.  In addition, the furry companions I get to cuddle every day I truly do enjoy sharing laughs with the humans that I bond within this practice, both my clients and coworkers.

When I am not chasing a toddler around the house or at work I enjoy playing sports, working out, and enjoying quality time with my family.

My name is Rebecca but at the Burlington Veterinary Center, you will know me as Becky, or that girl that always asks if it is alright to take pictures of your pet! I have been with the Burlington Veterinary Center since 2015, I started as a kennel assistant, then began to assist the doctors in appointments, had hands-on training in the lab and surgery area, but generally thrived in reception. At the BVC, you may speak with me when you first call our office, you may meet me as you first come into the office, or you may have me assisting with your pet’s needs during his/her appointment, but also any of your needs. Currently I am the Assistant Manager here.

I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a young girl, growing up with my spunky Grandmother on her small-town farm, loving cats and dogs as well as raising cows, pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, and ducks. My strong love for animals shows in my position at BVC, as I am always striving to ensure every client can feel and see the love and care I share with them for their pet. Outside of the Burlington Veterinary Center life, you will mostly find me spending my days with my amazing, beautiful, smart, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd mix named Blaze in the outdoors. We enjoy going to our secret spots around the Farmington River and he’s that dog pulling around an over-sized stick (basically a tree), or simply cooling off in the river. My three cats Keanu, Baby, and Muggsy and my cow Dolly, also share my heart.

I look forward to meeting you and thank you for entrusting myself, and the Burlington Veterinary Center to care for your pets!

Hey there, my name is Lorrie. I’ve been working at the Burlington Veterinary Center for nine years. I started out in a kennel position and have come a long way. I worked hard and now my position is Hospital Assistant. I am in charge of making sure the hospital runs smoothly. I help these lovely ladies and awesome doctors have what they need to get through a thorough exam, surgeries, x-ray and ultrasounds. I take a lot of pride in my life both inside and outside of my work environment. I believe that honesty, empathy, follow-through and being true to your word are some of my most important characteristics. I use these every day when working with such great clients. I have come a long way and never imagined I could complete the tasks that I do in my work environment. I have received a certificate in a fear free practicing which we utilize every day. I also received a certification in x-ray positioning which I am very excited to keep practicing and evolving in. Along with that, One of my most professional accomplishments was when I started working as a companion for the elderly 16 years ago. I then received a great opportunity here at the Burlington Veterinary Center and become an important team member. I get to spend a lot of time with lots of different animals with very different personalities. I have one cats and two dogs at home one of which is my grand pup. They all receive pet care at the BVC, I have complete faith in the care that my fur babies get. I spend lots of time outside with my grand pup, Micca and my pup Gilly. We all love nature walks and just spending time throwing the ball or just taking a ride. I am looking forward to continuing to learn new things and work with such a great team.

Hello! My name is Katlyn and I started here at Burlington Veterinary Center in 2020. I work as a technician in all areas of the hospital, so you may see me anywhere! My favorite part of my job is not only getting to take care of people’s furry family members, but also the wide variety of hats I get to wear in this role. From laboratory testing, radiology, anesthesia, dental prophylaxis and x-ray, blood draw/IV catheter placement, and more, there is never a boring day. I am currently enrolled in Penn Foster College pursuing my certification as a veterinary technician, and plan to obtain my bachelor’s degree in veterinary nursing. I love continuing education and can’t wait to see what other opportunities I have here with my team. At home my three (yes, three) Great Danes Ellie, Maisy, and Molly keep me really busy! Even though they are all couch potatoes we love spending time together at the lake or just being outside.

Hey there! My name is Jordan Maloney and I have been lucky enough to be working here, at the Burlington Veterinary Center, since September 2020 as a Technician Assistant. Although I am new to working in a Veterinary setting, I have a 10 year background in the medical field, specifically pharmacy and home health care. I’m very excited to bring my extensive training and skills to the office here, to serve my favorite beings.. ANIMALS! I thrive in a productive, family-friendly environment, which of course includes making great connections with all of our families that come in! Never hesitate to tell me a good joke (Or a bad one, the cornier the better). *I want to apologize in advance for all of the little tiny baby voices I WILL use with your animals, its 100% an involuntary and I cant’ help it*

Like all of us here, my passion for animals runs much deeper than this just being my career. I truly love animals of all shapes and sizes – yes, even the little rodents (believe me, I had pet mice, rats, prairie dogs and a squirrel as a kid and I LOVED them!)

I have the two most amazing fur babies at home, my year old cat, Baller, and 2 year old yellow lab Lilly. In her older age, Baller lives a simple life full of naps, and sunbathing. In the colder months, we all love to sit by the fire and watch a funny movie. Lilly loves her treats, but nothing is a match for her love of swimming. She is such a cuddle bug, and an even better hiking partner! They balance each other out with their opposite personalities but have grown to be the best of friends.

When I’m not working or home, you can probably find me and Lilly out on an adventure – whether it’s hiking, splashing around, kayaking, visiting family, or just going for rides! We are a pretty active family, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I am a Certified Veterinary Technician.

I’ve always had a love of animals. When I was around thirteen, I attended a horseback riding summer camp. From that moment on, I was hooked! I rode horses and showed competitively for many years. My passion for horses lead me on the path to become an equine veterinary technician.

I attended Wilson College, majoring in Veterinary Medical Technology with a concentration in Equi-Assist. However, it wasn’t until my finial semester, during the Clinical Experience course, that I discovered my enthusiasm for small animal anesthesia and surgery. I graduated from Wilson College in May 2021 and began working at the Burlington Veterinary Center shortly after. In December 2021, I passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam and became officially recognized as a CVT.

Since then, I have enjoyed attending veterinary conferences with my team and doing continuing education. I am currently enrolled in North Carolina State University’s CCAT program to become a Certified Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapist.

Outside of BVC, I enjoy spending time with my pup, Louis. He’s a 2 yr old Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Miniature Poodle). He loves to run, play ball, and show off his tricks. We also compete in AKC sports together, such as Fast Cat and Rally. I hope to get involved in Agility too!

My name is Vikki and I’m a certified veterinary technician. I joined the BVC team in 2021. This is my 50th, yea 50th year as a vet tech!

I started out as a theater arts major in college and after 2 years I decided it wasn’t for me. I decided to pursue my passion for animals, and I was fortunate to find a position with my dogs’ veterinarian. It didn’t take but a minute for me to realize this was the career for me. I was fortunate to work with a fantastic tech with a 4-year degree. With her help and tons of continuing education I was able to take the national certification exam the first time it was offered, and I passed! The rest is ancient history.

I have always strived to continue to be curious and to learn. This field has allowed me to enjoy a career that is rarely boring and affords me a real sense of accomplishment.

I share my home with three Irish Water Spaniels, one Shih Tzu, three cats, and 7 birds. They definitely keep me busy! I enjoy showing my Irish Water Spaniels and have made many wonderful friends through showings. Showing them has also made it possible to travel to many wonderful places in this country.

I have worked with many doctors and technicians throughout those many years. I can say without a doubt, this team at BVC is the best! I could not be more proud of this group of dedicated individuals.

Hi. My name is Ryan, and I just recently joined BVC in October. I have been a vet tech for almost 3 years with experience in both general practice and internal medicine with a special interest in surgery and ER.

I grew up working on horse farms and with a pack of rescue animals at home. My passion for education and animals led me to obtain my B.S. in animal science from UConn with a focus on livestock. I then spent 5 years as an assistant manager at a large show barn with my horse Banjo. My sweet rescue dog Henry joined our family shortly after and loves to hang out with the farm animals.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and camping in New Hampshire with my dogs and boyfriend Noah. I also like to read and often take online CE to keep learning about updates in vet med.

Hello, my name is Steph. I live in Bristol Ct with my daughter Veronika. I make my home with my cats and my dogs and a tortoise.

I just recently moved back to CT to be close to family and friends.

When not working at BVC you can find me exploring new restaurants, swimming, hiking, or skiing.

I have an 11 year old cat named Baxter who is very spoiled by my husband, Jack and myself! I look forward to bringing my skills I’ve learned over the last 5 years to BVC!

Hi, My name is Melissa and I’m the newest technician here at BVC however, I’ve been a technician for 17 years. I have experience in large and small animal general practice, large animal emergency, small animal emergency and exotics. I have a special interest in Emergency Medicine. I love traveling for Continuing Education events as it gives me the opportunity to strengthen my skills and knowledge while exploring different places.

In my spare time I love to ride my horses for pleasure as well as competitively with a specific interest in Eventing and Hunter Derbies. I like to work on my classic cars and attend car shows with my kids. I love to cook all different types of food and I am a wannabe seamstress!

I am so excited to be here at the BVC and to work with this amazing team! I can’t wait to get to know all the wonderful pets and their people.
