Brandy joined the Riverview Vet team in 2020, right before Covid closed the province down! She hardly had a chance to meet many clients in person but was able to meet so many patients in that time and has been thrilled to meet all their owners since.
Brandy graduated from the Animal Health Technology program at NAIT in 2001. She spent time in general practice and then a few years in emergency medicine. She moved to Devon, returned to general practice and started her family.

Working part time at Riverview Veterinary Clinic at first gave her the time to still be involved in her children's school and activities. She has now returned to full time hours to continue helping the pets and clients that she has met over the years in the Devon area. Brandy lives a very busy family life with her twin daughters, son, and her boyfriend, 1 large dog “Daryl”, 1 shih tzu mix “Fermata”, 3 very active cats; “Jet, Silver and Miko” and a hairless Guinea Pig “Harley”!

Last year was the first year Brandy tried Antique Tractor Pulls, and it may be a new hobby to add to her busy schedule.

Hey, I’m Molly!
I joined the RVC team as Kennel Staff in September 2023, initially with the goal of gaining experience to become a Veterinary Assistant or a Vet Tech. While my future career path has since evolved, my passion for working with animals has remained strong. I spend most of my time in the back, cleaning and providing comfort and care for the animals in any way that I can, but you may mostly recognize me as the girl who brings your pets back to the treatment area for tech appointments! You will also occasionally spot me at the front desk, where I am expanding my knowledge of reception duties.
At home, I am the proud owner of a tabby cat named Archer, who I adopted from RVC in December 2023. I also have a special bond with my parents' two dogs—Augie, a golden retriever-poodle cross, and Finnigan, a havanese-poodle cross.
One of my favourite things to learn about while working at RVC is proper dog handling techniques. I completed my first Level 1 Obedience class with Ambush, Mykie’s Belgian Malinois, and look forward to continuing my education in animal care and training.
I am excited to keep growing in my career and contribute to the well-being of animals in any way I can!

Hi, I'm Mykie!

I’ve been with RVC since late 2017, starting out as kennel staff and working my way through different roles until I found my place as Dr. Amy’s assistant and inventory manager. My late grandfather was a veterinarian, and his love for animals was passed down to my dad and then to me.

At home, I have two dogs who keep me busy: Ambush, a Belgian Malinois, and Aine, a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me camping, reading, or hanging out with my dogs.

Throughout my time at RVC, I’ve had the chance to work with fearful dogs, helping them build confidence through socialization and exposure. It’s incredibly rewarding to create a bond of trust with a nervous dog and watch them thrive, along with their owners. I love seeing the progress and making a difference in their lives.
