Meet Our Veterinary Staff

Manager

Kaitlyn graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. Kaitlyn started her career in the veterinary world in the equine industry by managing several different boarding, training, and breeding facilities before making the transition to small animal.

While Kaitlyn loves working with animals (especially kittens!), she has a special interest in working on the admin side of things here at AAH.

Kaitlyn has two cats, Ruby & Pickles, and a horse, Fiona. When not at work, you can find her horseback riding, skiing, kayaking, hiking, or going on weekend adventures.

Kristen came to us in 2006 with a growing knowledge of household pets and exotics. She has quickly progressed and now works in multiple departments, including room technician, surgical assistant, treatment, and the lab.

She is a lover of all animals, big and small. Her love of animals can be seen in the variety of animals she keeps as pets, 2 dogs, 5 cats, 2 rats, 1 sulcata tortoise, 8 ball pythons, and axolotls. In the summer, you can find her up in Berwick, Maine, running practices for Seacoast Dockdogs. Keep an eye out for her and Patches at a local Dockdogs event near you!

Technician

Lyza graduated from Simmons College in 2015 with a degree in Nutrition and volunteered with animals in her free time. After working in her field, she realized that she wanted to make working with animals her full-time job, not just her free time. She was responsible for convincing her parents to adopt two dogs and four cats (over the years) from the shelter. In her spare time, she still volunteers at an animal rescue. She and her fiancé live in Ipswich, always with a foster cat or two.

Brooke loves learning more about the industry and is excited to learn more about surgery and, specifically, dental cleaning. Brooke went to Essex Aggie in high school and attended four years of the veterinary technician program, where she got to work closely with small animals, such as rodents, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles, as well as large animals and livestock. There, she got her certificate in pet CPR as well as pet first aid and OSHA certification. At home, she loves spending time with her one-year-old Yorkie, Ryah.
