Lisa grew up in the Kingston area where she worked at a veterinary clinic in high-school. She was offered a summer job there which led to Technician training. Lisa graduated from St. Clair College, Windsor, ON and moved back to Kingston and joined the team in 2004.

Lisa has been working in vet clinics for 20 plus years, the majority of them as a Veterinary Technician. She is an extremely knowledgeable, diligent, efficient and caring person. Lisa ensures that nothing is left to chance when it comes to the pets in our care. Her main role now has become the main anesthetic, surgery and recovery technician. Lisa undertakes her charge with supreme vigilance and attention to detail. It is such a comfort knowing that she is so serious about the safety of the animals while they are at the clinic. Lisa knows animal behaviour so well that she has taught all of her colleagues what signs to look for when an animal is in pain or distress, and thus she is able to apply any means necessary to relieve this discomfort or pain. Her level of empathy and care for the animals is a force that unites us all and reminds us why we are doing what we are doing.

From a young age, Lisa has always sought out the company of animals and her career at Bayridge Animal Hospital in particular allows her to fulfill this desire as well as her desire to be around like minded people and pet owners. Lisa enjoys working with Drs. that are keen on learning advanced and innovative procedures such as the Tight Rope Cranial Cruciate Repair technique. She is usually the tech that scrubs in to assist with this procedure and knows it almost as well as the surgeon. She also loves using new technologies such as ultrasound, anesthetic monitoring equipment including capnography, digital radiography and state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. Lisa is most versed in pain management techniques and the importance of this.

Lisa's greatest pleasure in life is spending time with her husband, her Boxer, Cassie and her cat, George; we are fans of them all!
