                                       Parkland College 1998

Helping animals is something that I focus my life around. I have an open heart for helping animals however possible. I graduated from Parkland College and have been a certified veterinary technician since 1998. On top of being a certified tech, I also am certified as a Canine Animal Rehabilitation Practitioner. I earned my certification in December 2006 from the University of Tennessee and Northeast Seminars. I offer physical rehabilitation for animals at Dupage Animal Hospital.  The rehab program is called Pet Pedics and it is ran through DuPage Animal Hospital. Call to schedule an appointment!

I have been a technician at Dupage Animal Hospital since 1986.  I really enjoy working with the animals and talking with clients.  I especially like to do the dental cleanings and dental care for the pets. At home I have three cats of my own along with one bird.

                                   Loyola University 2006

Hi, my name is Jade and I have been a part of the DuPage Animal Staff since September 2006. Since the age of six, I have wanted to be a veterinarian. I grew up with a Rhodesian Ridgeback, cat, and gerbils. I currently have four wonderful Maine Coon cats: Lancelot, Guinivere, Maximus, and Maely. I love them all dearly, but I often refer to Maximus as my "boyfriend." I completed my undergrad at Loyola University Chicago in May of 2006 earning a degree in biology. I thought it would be best to take a year off and work in the veterinary field. Now a year has turned into two years off because I truly love and enjoy working as a technician. I plan to apply to vet school this summer. Wish me luck!

I started working at DuPage in September of 2007 as a technician. I have been a technician since 2005. At home I have a handsome lab mix and a pretty mixed kitty named Big Mama. My little kitty came in as a stray and is FIV+ but with love and TLC she is doing wonderful. Cody, my lab, is a gentle and sweet boy. I am attending school to become a certified veterinary technician and enjoy learning. In my off time I like to camp and boat with my husband and family.

I have been working here at DuPage since May of 2006. I began as a kennel technician and currently work as a vet tech. Being a vet tech has been very rewarding and I am looking forward to furthering my education and becoming a veterinarian. I am currently attending Elmhurst College which takes up most of my time. At home I enjoy spending time with family and my 5 year old chinese shar-pei Harley. I am excited to see what the future has in store for me here at DuPage and the experiences.

I started working at DuPage in 2001 in the kennel. Quickly after working in this position I worked my way into being a vet tech. I enjoy my job as I have always enjoyed sharing my time and life with cats, dogs and my ferrets. In my spare time I enjoy scrap booking and my favorite football team, Green Bay Packers.
