For as long as I can remember, I always knew that I wanted to become a
veterinarian. I am a Tri-Cities native and spent my childhood growing up with
cats, dogs, ducks, a variety of pocket pets, and horses. I was heavily involved
in 4-H and Pony Club and started working at a local mixed animal veterinary
clinic as soon as I was able to drive.

Upon graduation from veterinary school, I decided to spread my wings and
spent the first 11 years of my career practicing small animal medicine in
Western Washington. I grew weary of the traffic and gray skies, and in 2011
moved back home. Afterall, my family has deep roots in this community and
they have lived here for over 40 years!

I love all animals and have quite a menagerie of my own including dogs, cats,
a horse, llama, alpacas, goats, chickens, and ducks. I look forward to meeting
you and your four-legged family members and promise to give them the most
compassionate, individualized, and quality care!

I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. At 12 years old, I was certain that I wanted to be a veterinarian and started volunteering at the local vet hospital in Chugiak, AK. I have worked in the veterinary industry ever since.

I moved to “the lower 48” to pursue my higher education and have lived in Eastern Washington for 20 years now. I graduated from the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. I have 12 years of experience in general practice and emergency medicine.

I currently reside in Prosser, with an assortment of animals that includes cats, dogs, horses, and cattle. I enjoy riding horses, skiing, and hiking with my dogs outside of work. My animals are essential family members, and I will treat yours as I would my own.

I look forward to helping keep your animals healthy and happy through kind, high-quality medical care.

My name is Kaela and I am still fairly new to working in the veterinary field. I spent 5 years Active Duty and 1 year Reserve in the United States Army as a Human Resources Specialist, and have over 9 years of customer service experience. I joined the staff of Sunrise Veterinary Clinic about 3 years ago and have been so grateful to be a part of this wonderful team!

I have always had so much love for animals, and I appreciate getting to learn more about them every day. I have two dogs named WiggleButt and Adonis.

I currently hold two Associates degrees from Columbia Basin College, one in General Studies and one in Business, and will be finishing my Bachelor degree in Applied Management in early 2025.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, hiking, reading, painting, and playing video games.

I am so excited to meet you and your fur babies!

My name is Amanda and I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I was raised in Othello, WA on a busy farm and my love for working with animals started a very young age.

I attended Yakima Valley Community College and earned my technician license. I absolutely love working in the veterinary medicine field and helping everyone’s critters stay healthy.

My husband and I live in Kennewick with our animals, including a small herd of cattle, chickens, a cat, two horses, and three dogs. My hobbies include camping, hiking, riding horses and spending time with family!

Hi, my name is Brooklon, and I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I went to the Veterinary Technology program at Yakima Valley College and graduated in 2022. I have lived on a dairy my whole life with lots of different animals, and I always enjoyed working with them. I had many pets growing up and showed dairy heifers and beef steers through 4-H and FFA for years. I knew I wanted a job working with animals that would be fun and interesting each day. Right now, I have a yellow labrador retriever named Sadie, and my fiance has a golden retriever named Koda. I look forward to meeting you all and helping with all of your pets here at Sunrise Veterinary Clinic!

I knew I wanted to work with animals since I was five years old. I was able to realize that dream when I graduated from Yakima Valley Community College’s Veterinary Technology program in 2000. I spent 6 years as a Technician in Yakima and have been helping small animals in the Tri-Cities for the last 17 years! I am excited to meet you and your 4 pawed family members here at Sunrise Veterinary Clinic!

My name is Aryana and I am a Veterinary Assistant here at Sunrise Veterinary Clinic. My passion is taking care of animals and making sure that they are healthy and safe. My lifelong dream is to work with animals of all kinds.
