My name is Tina. I joined the Small Animal Surgical Services team in May 2021. When I decided it was time for a career change my love of animals led me towards a career as a veterinary technician. I graduated with an AS degree in veterinary technology. Upon completion of school I began my career as an emergency veterinary technician. I spent 6 years as an emergency veterinary technician. I experienced and learned a lot in those 6 years. One thing I learned about myself is that I enjoy being a part of life changing surgeries. From lifesaving emergency surgeries, to simple spays and neuters to help control the pet population, and now orthopedics and the many other procedures Dr. House performs, I enjoy it all. It is a pleasure to monitor anesthesia during these procedures and to see the patients through their recovery process.  I live in Wayne with my husband and two German Shorthaired Pointers, Baxter and Daisy. When I’m not working, I love to be with my dogs hiking, camping, or cuddling on a rainy day. Another outdoor activity I enjoy is gardening. I enjoy storing, preserving, and processing the items we grow.

My name is Bethany, I joined the Small Animal Surgical Services team in October of 2021. I started my vet tech career in emergency medicine back in 2009. I have always had a passion for helping animals. I live in Wales with my husband, 3 children and our pets. We have 3 dogs and 4 cats, a full house. There is never a dull moment. When I’m not at work you will find me outside with my family doing various activities. Some of our favorite activities are being out on the boat in the summer, camping, fishing/ice fishing and bowling.

 Hi, I'm Ell! I joined Dr. House's team in December of 2021. My career in the veterinary field started in high school at a small shelter hospital. Since then, I've accumulated almost a decade of experience in many different settings from ER to internal medicine to general practice and beyond. I'm currently working towards my AS in Veterinary Technology through the Penn Foster program.
     I'm a California native, but I've taken to colder climates like Michigan, Ohio, and New Hampshire where I have worked seasons off handling sled dogs. Now that I'm in Maine, I'm glad to be back doing what I love being, so involved in helping pets become as happy and healthy as can be! It's been a joy to see how drastically the surgeries Dr. House performs can improve quality of life for our patients.
     In my free time I most enjoy playing music, bluegrass banjo being my most recent obsession. I also love leatherworking, climbing, and trying to persuade people to teach me to fish.
