Your Healthcare Team
Hannah, Clinic Manager
My journey with Pandosy Village Vet started a little more than 7 years ago (wow..time flies!) I’ve been fortunate enough to “grow-up" with the clinic. From helping at the front desk, nursing patients in the back, assisting in acupuncture appointments to now being called the Clinic Manager. I guess you could say I've done a little bit of everything!
I graduated from my Veterinary Hospital Assistant course in 2011 in Kelowna, BC. Since then I’ve been given the opportunity to further expand my knowledge by taking the Advanced Natural Animal Nutrition online course through the Centre for Integrative Veterinary Therapies, as well as the Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine for Technicians course at the Chi Institute (AKA acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapies.) These days I'm usually running around the clinic doing "managerial" duties, but I do still enjoy a good chat about nutrition and holistic care options!
My golden oldie boy has since passed (Marles Barkley - I miss him dearly!) who is the cutie in some of the photos you see around the clinic still. These days my fur family consists of Bubba, my slightly angry, slightly senile 20(ish) year old tortoiseshell cat as well as my beloved beta fish, Gary. When I’m not busy at work I like to spend my free time exploring the beautiful Okanagan with friends (in all seasons), enjoying the lovely little patios and city life of downtown Kelowna - and having lazy Sunday afternoons on the couch with Netflix or a good book - and my rescue kitty Jorge.
Christine, Clinical Team Leader
As a child, I always found myself drawn to animals in a special way. After working in human healthcare and dog daycares for many years, I found my place with the Pandosy Vet family in 2016 and have been working here ever since. In the clinic, you'll find me assisting in surgical prep, keeping things tidy, and preforming our therapeutic laser treatments. I have a special interest in all things holistically minded and love to assist our doctors in finding the right treatment for your pets. In my spare time, I love to travel, hike, and spend time with my tiny rescue chihuahua, Milo.
Ashley, Registered Veterinary Technician
Originally from White Rock, I started in the veterinary field in 2010 and became a Registered Veterinary Technician in 2014. On the coast I worked in a few small animal practices as well as emergency clinics. Two years ago my husband and I moved to Kelowna and I joined the Pandosy team in March 2019. I have a special interest in veterinary dentistry and am very passionate about our surgical cases. When not working I love hiking, camping, and off-roading with our Indian street dog, Rhee, and our Silken Windhound, Nelson. When I’m at home, you can find me cuddling the cats, Freya and Theodore, or curled up with a good book.
Tia, Veterinary Assistant
Animals of all kinds have always been my passion- as a kid I grew up bringing home any sort of scaled, fuzzy or flying creature I could find, but found my true passion with dogs when I was 11 and started working at a local daycare. Since then, my love for dogs has only grown as I’ve gotten involved with sports such as agility, training, and fostering. I started with Pandosy Vet in 2019 and can't imagine a better workplace. Around the clinic you’ll find me behind the scenes snuggling our patients, creating our social media content, and making sure everything runs smoothly for surgery and appointments. I have a special interest in training, and love to see puppy parents succeed in raising their new best friend!
In my spare time, you can find me with my Australian shepherd, June, and my Duck Toller, Tadpole- hiking, camping, competing in agility and disc, and pursuing my love for photography!
Anna, Registered Veterinary Technician
I spent my childhood in Germany and was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time on my grandparents’ farm surrounded by many different animals. I knew very early on that i wanted to spend her life caring for all things furry, feathery, scaly and everything in between. I graduated from Douglas College in 2014 and has been working as a Registered Veterinary Technician ever since.
After graduation I decided to split my time between Germany and Canada and was able to experience a wide range of veterinary practices working in the two countries.Having settled in Kelowna now, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking and exploring the Okanagan with my terrier mix Kosmo.
Meghan, Front Desk
Cass, Registered Veterinary Technician
Kelowna has been my home since before I can remember, but I headed to the beautiful city of Kamloops to complete my RVT schooling at Thompson Rivers University, and graduated in 2020 to come right back here! I have worked in the vet industry for many years, but recently joined the Pandosy family to learn more about integrative medicines after seeing my perfect kitty Franny benefit immensely from weekly acupuncture and laser therapy! I love all animals, but cats have a special place in my heart.
On my spare time, you can find me curled up with a good book with my kitties, Franny and Sassy.
