My name is Amber. I have been a Veterinary Technician for eight years at Ham Lake Vet; I got hired while in college and have been here since. I attended Argosy University; I graduated in 2016. Now I’m the Hospital Manager here. I have two young kids, two dogs (Butters, Gator) and a cat (Wicket), and I can’t forget my betta fish (goldy).

Hi! I’m Kayla; I’ve been a tech since 2010. I started my career as an emergency tech and still have a passion for helping with complicated cases. I spend most of my time with my “kids” at home when not working. I have a small herd of horses, a pack of dogs, a few cats, a flock of chickens & ducks, a handful of pocket pets, and a trio of peafowl. I enjoy showing my horses when not cleaning the barn or fixing the fence.

Amisa's Bio
I’ve loved animals since I was a kid; my goal is to go back to school to become a CVT and work in an equine hospital or a zoo. I’ve got four animals of my own that keep me pretty busy. I love riding, reading, hiking, kayaking, scuba diving, and traveling domestically and internationally. I’d love to learn a couple of new languages, photography, vegetable gardening, and calligraphy.
