Hello! I have been with RRVH since October 2013 as an animal health assistant. I graduated from the University of Maine in Orono with a B.S. in Wildlife Ecology, and have always enjoyed learning about and caring for animals. I hope to someday become a wildlife rehabilitator, but for now I’m absorbing all that RRVH has to teach me about veterinary medical practices!
