VETERINARY TECHNICIANS:
Jean Andrew, lvt.
Jean graduated from Fiorello H.LaGuardia C.C. in 2001. Jean had always wanted to become a vet when she was a young girl, but life sent her in a different field. She worked for The Bank of New York for about 10 years. She decided one day she needed a change in her life. She packed up and went to Greece in an effort find herself. She did. Working days and going to school in the evenings paid off. Now you can find Jean doing what she loves best, caring for animals and her family. Jean was always surrounded with pets when growing up; dog, rabbits and birds. It is to no surprise why she lives with 1 husky/shepard mix,6 rabbits,pair of eclectus and 4 lovebirds. Jean also shares her life with husband Rick and son Alex.
Corrine Delleo
Corrine has been working as a veterinary technician for 5 years now. Helping and caring for animals is her passion. Since she was a young girl she always knew helping animals would be a major part of her life. At home, Corrine lives with two rescued pets - Roxanne, the pleasantly plump 10 year old beagle and Layla (whom she has had since the day Layla was born and bottle fed her), is her crazy three year old tuxedo kitty.
"I love my job and always say to friends and family that I could never wake up and go to a job where I cannot kiss a puppy or kitten." - Corrine
