Registered Veterinary Technologist
Melissa’s parents worked in human healthcare, so she’s been interested in the medical sciences since her earliest days. Coupled with a lifelong adoration for the earth’s creatures, a career in the veterinary world simply made sense! As a Registered Veterinary Technologist, Melissa is proud to help pets live happier, healthier lives daily.
Melissa grew up on a honey farm three hours southwest of Winnipeg, where she and her family kept everything from pigs, chickens, cats, and dogs to hamsters, a guinea pig, and fish. She attended Red River College in Winnipeg to study in their Animal Health Technology course, even serving as Class President and graduating with honors. Melissa joined the Sage Creek Animal Hospital family shortly after school—she’s been here ever since.
Around the hospital, Melissa enjoys the challenges of placing IV lines and completing dental cleaning procedures. She never tires of hearing before-and-after stories of pets revitalized after a thorough tooth cleaning! Melissa also likes discussing animal care techniques with pet owners.
When she is not at work, Melissa can be found crocheting, camping, baking, and going for walks with her husband and sons. She also enjoys spending time with her cats, Maple and Stella.
