Tina moved to Kingston (from her hometown an hour East) after completing high school to enroll in the Veterinary Assistant Program at St. Lawrence College in 2001. Upon completion of the program, she decided to further her career in the veterinary field and graduated from the Veterinary Technology Diploma program in 2005. She secured a job as a Registered Veterinary Technician in a busy small animal practice North of the city where she worked for 4 years before starting a family. Shortly after her return, she decided that an employment opportunity closer to home would be best for her and her family and she was happily welcomed at Lakeshore Animal Hospital in August 2010. Tina has always been an animal lover, and to those that know her well it was no surprise that she found her niche in the veterinary field. In her spare time Tina enjoys spending time with her husband, son, daughter, 3 “fur babies” and whenever the moment presents itself, painting, drawing and being creative.

Emily has been living in Kingston for the past 16 years, after having moved here from Ottawa. She recently completed the Veterinary Technology Program at St. Lawrence College. During her time in Kingston, Emily worked as a member of the Fort Henry Guard for seven summers, ending her tenor there as Guard Captain. Previously, she attended Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo and received a Bachelor of Arts in History. Although history is a true interest of hers, her real passion has always been for animals, and so she returned to Kingston to pursue the Veterinary Technician field.
