I am a client care and veterinary assistant here at Davisville, I am new to the clinic, however I have been in the field for quite a few years. I started volunteering and working in a clinic setting since 2010, where I spent most of that time in an emergency practice. I am currently in school to become a Veterinary Technician through Thompson River University distance education program. This allows me to spend more time with my young daughter Claire. Together we enjoy going to the park or heading out of town for a hike.

She also enjoys walking dogs in her neighbourhood, reading & traveling. Although she loves animals, she has a strong passion for medicine & hopes to one day become a pharmacist!

Yvonne recently joined the Leslieville team early 2018. She took in a handful of strays throughout her childhood starting at the young age of 6, which essentially sparked her passion to work in the animal health field. Prior to joining the team, she enjoyed volunteering at clinics as an animal attendant and helping out with an organization called Toronto Cat Rescue. She was involved in administrative work and was trained as a Foster Home Screener, Foster Home Coordinator and as an Adoption Counsellor.
