Jessica, Client Service Specialist - Starting here in December 2010, Jess is our newest smiling face.  She has always wanted to work with animals and she enjoys seeing all the different pets that the hospital brings.  She enjoys being a part of the team and being involved with something she believes in.

She owns a yellow Labrador named Charlie.  She has 3 children so most of her free time is spent caring for them.  When the opportunity arises, she enjoys reading, hiking and listening to music.

Judy, Client Service Specialist - CVAH has had the pleasure of calling Judy an employee since September 2005.  She has always loved animals and wanted to learn more about veterinary medicine and how to help them stay healthy.

She has 1 dog, 3 cats and 1 husband (they all drive her nuts).  Judy spends her extra time doing almost anything artistic, gardening, and playing with power tools in her garage.

Pepper, Client Service Specialist - Pepper started with CVAH in January 2008.  She moved here from Kansas in 2006.  Pepper loves interacting with the clients and playing a role in the health and well-being of their furry family members.

When she is away from the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their feline friends.

Jamie, Exam Room Assistant - Jamie has worked at CVAH off and on since October 2000.  She started working with us when she was only in high school.  Working with all the variety of animals is her favorite aspect of working for us.  She claims to be a life-long student as she is currently attending her fourth University!

She lives with 3 dogs, 4 cats (two of whom were adopted from the S.A.I.N.T. fund) and 2 turtles (also from our S.A.I.N.T. fund).  She enjoys spending time with her family (both furried and not), going to the mountains, reading, and gardening.

Mireia, Exam Room Assistant - Mireia has been with CVAH since March 2008.  On a sunny Colorado day you can find Mireia walking her doggies, photographing the Colorado wildlife, or in the stands at a Mammoth game.  However if it is snowing out, then a good book next to the fireplace is just what the Doctor ordered.

She is “owned” by two beautiful pups; Nugget, a strong-minded yet extremely sweet Chinook and Spike, a very loving “Heinz 57”.

Kelly, Technician Assistant - Kelly started working at Centennial Valley Animal Hospital in February 2010.  Kelly grew up in Illinois.  She has moved to a few different states over the years.

Madi, Technician Assistant - Madi started working at Centennial Valley Animal Hospital in May 2008.  When she was four years old her mother asked her for the first time what she wanted to be when she grew up, and she answered “veterinarian”.  Madi wanted to work at CVAH to see if she truly wanted to be a veterinarian, instead of it just being a dream that had never been explored.  She loves to watch surgeries, give meds, as well as do jobs that are out of routine.

She has two tuxedo cats named Mittens and GoGo Boots, a rat named Squeaks, and a gerbil named Muffin.  After graduating high school she hopes to go to CSU.  Madi loves to do Arial dance on a low flying trapeze, read, and watch sci-fi.

Sarah, Technician Assistant - Sarah started volunteering at CVAH the summer of 2009 and was hired shortly after.  Ever since she was little, Sarah wanted to work with animals, so she was thrilled to be offered the position of Assistant Veterinary Technician.  She especially loves the hands-on experience she’s been getting with all sorts of animals.

Sarah is enjoying her Junior year of high school.  She has 3 cats and 1 dog.  During her spare time she enjoys playing the flute or just spending time with friends.

Sierra, Technician Assistant - Sierra joined our team in 2010.  She loves caring for animals with her mom, Dr. Rickford.
