Ashley Norman, Head Nurse
Ashley recently moved to Colorado from Minnesota and began working for
Mountain Ridge shortly after. She began her career as a CVT in June
2008, graduating from Glade University in Minnesota. She obtained a
degree from the University of Minnesota-Crookston in Equine Science.
She worked as a horse trainer and riding instructor for 3 years before
becoming a CVT. After working for an equine veterinarian as an animal
caretaker/assistant, she took an interest in veterinary medicine and
moved her career in that direction. While she has passion for horses,
she enjoys working in private practice with small animals. She loves to
assist in surgery and monitor anesthesia. Ashley enjoys working at
Mountain Ridge Animal Hospital because the staff holds a high standard
of care for their patients and has some of the latest technologies.
When she is not working with animals, Ashley enjoys hiking, road biking,
alpine skiing, and exploring the area. She currently does not have any
pets but hopes to get a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a horse someday. |

Heidi Sprang, CVT
Heidi began working at Mountain Ridge Animal Hospital in May of 2009
after graduating from Bel-Rea Institute. She is originally from Ohio
where she earned a Bachelor?s degree in Zoology at Miami University.
Before moving to Colorado she spent several years working as a zookeeper
during which time she had the opportunity to care for a broad range of
mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. She is especially fond of her
time working at an exotic feline sanctuary and at an endangered Hawaiian
bird conservation center. Always enjoying the veterinary aspects of
her job as a keeper, she decided to change careers and become a
veterinary technician. She enjoys working at Mountain Ridge because of
the high standard of care provided to the patients and because it has
allowed her to grow as a technician.
Heidi lives with her two cats Ethel and Norman and in her spare time
enjoys hiking, sketching and painting, reading and going to the movies.
She also volunteers at a wild bird rehabilitation center in Denver,
where she worked while attending Bel-Rea. |
