The Oakton-Vienna Veterinary Team

	Linda Z. I have been with OVVH for over 20 years. I started as a veterinary assistant and have held several positions over the years. Currently I am in charge of the bookkeeping. When I am not at OVVH, I am very involved in animal rescue and founded Collie Rescue, Inc., a non-profit animal rescue serving Virginia and Maryland.

	Jazmyn G. My name is Jazmyn. I'm originally from Vermont, but have lived in NOVA since 2018 and have enjoyed my time here. I started at OVVH as a receptionist, a veterinary assistant, and an administrative assistant in the spring of 2018. I took over the reigns as Practice Manager in 2020! I have my Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration and currently in school for my MBA/HRM. I have a strong passion for helping pets and their parents, as well as leading and developing our team. In my free time I enjoy horror movies and games, baking bread, exploring museums, trying new food, and spending time with my 10 year old English Bulldog, Dozer. I am beyond excited to continue to be apart of the OVVH team!

	Kat S. Hi, I'm Kat! Animals have been part of my soul since I was incredibly little. At age 6 I brought home a hurt, stray squirrel and my mother was horrified. I officially started working with animals at age 14, mucking horse stalls at my local barn. I then progressed to spending many years as a groomer to FEI and Olympic horses. I began my journey in the veterinary medicine field working with small animals in 2014, took a short break, and now I've returned! In my spare time I love spending time with my daughter, my pitbull, going on outdoor adventures, watching true crime documentaries, and finding joy in the little things in life.

	Alex M. Hello, I'm Alex, a veterinary technician with 9 years of experience. I love animals, especially cats and corgis. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my fiancé and our dog. In my free time, I also love reading, coffee, tattoos and playing video games. I am working towards obtaining my veterinary technician license.

	Aurora E. Hi my name is Aurora. I've been working in the veterinary field for 2 years, and have worked with dogs and cats for over 7 years. As a child, I was interested in animals more than anything else, and that hasn't changed. I am excited to meet and help your furry family members and watch them grow.

	Melissa B. Hi! I'm Melissa and I'm originally from Southern California but grew up in Herndon and studied Anthropology at GMU. I have been in the veterinary field for 10+ years! I have a national certification in canine massage therapy and I live at home with my senior rescue dogs and my cat, Stan Lee. Pictured here with me is my best friend, Sir Phineas Woofington.

	Kelsey S. Hello! Born and raised in Western Maryland, I have called VA home for over 14 years. I've been working at OVVH for the last 4 out of 10 years that I have been working with animals. I'm owned by two amazing boys. I love hiking, eating good food, watching crime documentaries, and spending time with my sons.

	Cat R. Greetings! Originally from Colorado and California, I moved to the East Coast in 2009 and have been in Northern Virginia since 2010 where I finished high school and college. Though I was never sure what I wanted to be “when I grew up,” one thing never changed: my love of animals. I worked as a receptionist at another vet hospital for a year and a half before becoming a veterinary assistant at OVVH. I am so grateful to be doing what I love with such a wonderful team! Outside of work I enjoy gaming, art, studying languages, and listening to metal.

	Jennifer D. Hello, I'm Jennifer! I'm originally from Round Hill, VA but I now call Vienna my home. I have a Bachelor's in Business Management from GMU and hope to own a business in the future. Although I haven't been in the veterinary field for long, I have a lovable dog and cat at home. I enjoy golfing, hiking, gaming, and traveling. I've traveled to 4 of the 7 continents!

	June P. Hello, I'm June. Originally from Korea, I have relocated to Virginia where I am truly enjoying my life with my family. I graduated from veterinary school in Korea and before I become a veterinarian in the U.S., I am working at OVVH as a vet assistant. Working here has been a great pleasure for me, as I am able to continue my passion for helping animals while learning and growing my skills. When I have the time, I love to find great local restaurants, and indulge in delicious meals. I believe that good food brings people together and creates memorable experiences. Also, I love to find hidden dog parks with my dog, Gomsoon, a Mini Bernadoodle.

	Jordan C. My name is Jordan and I am from Tallahassee, Florida. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Social Welfare but have followed my passion of working with animals for the last year and a half. My goal is to work with animals in a therapy setting in the future. I have one lovable 5-year-old Australian Shepard/Collie mix named Daxon that I rescued in Florida. Outside of OVVH, I enjoy cooking and live music!

	Tyler H. Hello, my name is Tyler. I've worked with farm animals since I was a child in Michigan and I always knew this is the career I would pursue. Animals are one of my passions and I hope to one day go back to school to become a licensed vet technician and eventually a veterinarian.
