Samantha
Certified Veterinary Technician
Samantha started at Eau Claire Animal Hospital in 2010 as an animal caregiver. That sparked her desire to pursue her associates degree to become a Certified Veterinary Technician – she graduated from Globe University in 2015. She left for a year to work in emergency veterinary medicine near the Madison area but returned to the clinic that always felt like home. Samantha’s favorite part of her job is the patient care- she loves ensuring your pets have the most exceptional care and are as comfortable as they possibly can be from the time they enter our doors to when they leave.
In 2022 she became a Registered Dental Hygienist and works at a local dental office full time but still manages to remain on staff here one day a week to see and care for her pet patients.
When she is not working she enjoys every moment with her husband (Josh), their two human children (Landon and Emmett) and one pup (Ellie).
