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 will graduate in 2025 with a Master's degree in Business Administration and Human Resources Management. 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 computer games, baking bread, exploring museums, trying new food, and spending time with my 11 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 to OVVH in 2023! 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.

Hey there, I'm Estefany and I joined OVVH in 2024! I love meeting all types of animals and all their different personalities. I have a Domestic Shorthair of my own named "Fluffy". He loves attention, treats, and cuddles - but don't be fooled, he isn't the nicest kitty.
