Julie is attempting to see how much veterinary assisting she can get away with while simultaneously raising three children, a husband and 2 rescue newfs; a newf and a semi-newf in the Richmond, VT area.  She has degrees from Middlebury College (BA), and Northern Arizona University (MA) and the Animal Behavior College.  She has been moving salamanders to safety along the dirt roads of New England since she was knee high to a grasshopper, advocating for animals since the beginning. She has worked for the Vermont Amphibian and Reptile Atlas Project, the Navajo Nation Environmental Consulting Project, and the Utah State Anthropologist. Currently she has her own in home studio arts business, No Straight Lines, writes and illustrates articles for the Green Mountain Animal Defenders, and walks dogs for the Chittenden County Humane Society. She skiis to live and is happy to have a learning opportunity in the Mad River with Mad River Veterinary Service!

My husband and I moved to Vermont recently after falling in love with the area on vacation. I was born and raised in Ohio, but lived in Indiana for two years prior to relocating to Vermont. I have been a veterinary technician for 5 years in a variety of clinics. I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Darwin and Winston and a Tuxedo cat named Simon.
