I'm a ball of energy most of the time... but I can often be found curled up like a cat sleeping while other canines and felines visit my human. Check him out on his twitter page @Neinmeansno

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 skis to live and is happy to have a learning opportunity in the Mad River with Mad River Veterinary Service!

Kurt graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in preveterinary science in spring 2019. When he's not at MRVS he can be found on a mountain atop a variety of apparatuses; in a car between the mountains, coast and his family in central MA; or meeting strangers by reading books in odd places.

A lifelong resident of the Mad River Valley, Izzy is currently a vet tech student at Vermont Tech. She owns and rides Icelandic horses, so she's comfortable around all-size animals. That said, she also embraces smaller ones and especially loves her cat Tinkerbell. Her favorite part of caring for animals is 'spending time with them'. 

Born and raised in the Mad River Valley, Kailey started visiting Mad River Vet with her grandmother when she was 5 years old ! An animal lover, she enjoys training her dog Otis. Currently a student at Harwood Union HS, she plans to attend Norwich University next year for early college.
