Ella

RVT

Ella discovered her passion for veterinary medicine growing up on a farm, where a love for animals naturally blossomed into a career goal. Now, with nearly four years of experience as a Registered Veterinary Technician, Ella brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the OVH team.

After graduating, Ella began her career at a small clinic in St. Andrews, gaining valuable experience working with a wide range of animals, from horses to rabbits and everything in between. In April 2024, she relocated to the Oromocto area to be closer to family and friends and joined OVH, where she quickly embraced the clinic's warm atmosphere and diverse patients.

Ella thrives on building connections with the animals and their owners, finding joy in every interaction. One of her favorite aspects of being an RVT is monitoring surgeries, ensuring every patient receives the best care possible.

When not at the clinic Ella enjoys spending time with their own beloved pets—a horse, miniature donkey, cat, and dog—and can often be found out on the water during the summer months. Her passion for animals, both at work and at home, shines through in everything she does.
