Karen, Licensed Veterinary Technician
Karen graduated from Baker College in June of 2013 with an associates of applied science degree. "I have wanted to work with animals since I can remember. Growing up I spent as much time with any animal I could, and tried to incorporate it into my jobs as well. I have been a dog walker, moving up to dog, cat, and small animal sitter. I then worked at a pet store as a pet care specialist and then moved up to dog trainer. Although I did like doing all those things I finally got the best job helping pets from big to small at North River Animal Hospital! I enjoy spending time with those I love and my three black cats Cola, Kingsley, and Bagherra."

I just recently got married and have a cat named Crash, who I absolutely adore and love to pieces. If I am not at work, you can find me crafting, baking, watching Disney movies with my cat, or going on a trip somewhere new with my husband or best friend.
