He applied for a CSR/reception position at a veterinary hospital in Springfield. He then transitioned to being a veterinary technician and that's when he truly found an undiscovered passion for the field. Matt then made it his goal to save up enough to move across the country to pursue this passion, and now he's here! Matt has two pets - a Staffordshire/Border Collie mix named “Honey” and a cat named “Moonshine”. Previous pets include a quaker parrot, a corn snake, a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, two goldfish, an emperor scorpion, and even a tarantula at one point. An aspect of veterinary medicine that Matt most enjoys is diagnostics - being presented with a problem and working closely with the doctors to come up with a solution. He also thoroughly enjoys meeting and building close relationships with clients and patients, seeing progress, and being there for them. He has an affinity for the scaly and the winged pets and plans on specializing in exotics care in school. In his spare time, Matt can be found hiking around Pullman with “Honey”, adding to his ever-growing vinyl collection, and spending time on his computer.

Born and raised in Helena, MT, Brittany completed her bachelor's degree in Anthrozoology with a minor in Psychology from Carroll College. When she wasn't in the classroom you would find her out on the field playing softball for her college athletic team-- Go Saints! Once she graduated from undergrad, she decided to take a break before applying to vet school, so she moved with her now-husband to Lake Oswego, Oregon. They lived, worked, and explored for two years before Brittany accepted a seat at the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine! Another round of packing and they now call Pullman home with their two dogs, “Hobbes” and “CJ”. While Brittany continues her education, her husband runs Quail Ridge Golf Course down the road in Clarkston. That explains why when she is not around animals or in the mountains; you can find her on the golf course! Once she earns her DVM degree, Brittany plans on staying in the NW and practicing small animal general practice. |
