I am a Colorado native. I have always liked animals and became interested in exotics while in middle school. During my senior year in high school, I began working in the veterinary field. After graduation from Broomfield High School, I began attending Colorado State University. I graduated in May of 2008 with a Degree in Biological Science and minor in Biomedical Science. In my first year of college, I began working as a veterinary assistant and have been doing so ever. I began working at Mountain Ridge Animal Hospital in July of 2007. I have found the standards of care and the quality of medicine at Mountain Ride Animal Hospital to be cutting edge and unlike anywhere I have experienced previously? |
Melissa graduated from Bel-Rea Institute of Veterinary Technology in 2007. She became a technician because of her desire to make a difference in the veterinary field. She enjoys working at Mountain Ridge Animal Hospital & Pain Management Center because the doctors are current on the standards of care and pain management is a priority. Every day is different and exciting. She strives to excel as a technician and someday hopes to earn a veterinary technician specialty.
She lives with her white German Shepherd, Roxanne, and her three cats. Melissa strongly recommends heart worm testing and preventative because Roxanne was diagnosed with and treated for Heart worm Disease in 2009. |
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 hold a high standard of care for their patients; it 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 somday.
