Lauren joined the Dakota family in the spring of 2024 after completing her first practicum for the Veterinary Technologist program at RRC Polytech. She is now in her final year. She loves the positive atmosphere and the collaborative environment of our hospital. She enjoys being part of a team that centers its practice around patient welfare and fear free medicine. She has an interest in both small and large animal medicine but really enjoys working with behavior cases in dogs. When not at work or studying, she enjoys relaxing at home with her 2 dogs and one cat, reading and playing board games with friends and spending time with family.
