Registered Veterinary Technologist
Meet Bria Yeryk, a passionate Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) at Sage Creek Animal Hospital, where her lifelong love for animals has blossomed into a rewarding career. Raised in Winnipeg with her parents and two brothers, Bria’s upbringing was enriched by the presence of family dogs, fostering her deep-rooted connection to animals. From a young age, her affinity for animals was evident, as she played, trained, and even fashioned homemade bandages while playing “vet” at home. It was clear early on that she was destined to work in the veterinary field.
Bria explored various programs in high school before discovering the RVT program, which immediately resonated with her. She enrolled at Red River College in 2016 and began working in clinics the following year, relishing the hands-on learning experiences offered by the program. Graduating in 2018, Bria’s passion for her work only grew.
Bria’s favorite aspect of her job is analyzing lab samples under the microscope, especially when observing tiny critters’ intricate movements. She thrives on the diversity of each day in the veterinary field, cherishing the opportunity to educate clients on pet health and nutrition while forging meaningful connections with pets and their owners.
Outside work, she finds joy in spending time indoors with her pets or embarking on outdoor adventures such as hiking and kayaking with her beloved pups. Whether unwinding with a good book, practicing yoga, or cycling through the scenic landscapes of Winnipeg, Bria’s zest for life is evident in all that she does.
