Sarah began at Danbury Animal Hospital and Versatile Vets in 2019. She’s our talented and enthusiastic head veterinary technician, as well as a Certified Phlebotomist. She finds joy in helping pets, knowing that they have a special bond with their humans, and relishes being surrounded by supportive teammates.

The way she sees it, she never had a choice to pursue another field. Her first childhood memories include sneaking baby birds into her room to heal them after falling from their nests. She would also feed stray cats and watched in fascination as they gave birth. Her drive to help animals in need led her to work in the veterinary field for over a decade.

Sarah graduated from Danbury High School, class of 2008. She enjoys traveling, going out to dinner, and hanging with her family and fur kids. She’s always appreciated her family’s traditions and quality time. Her pet family includes two French Bulldogs, Henri and Hailey, both of whom come with a handful of adorable and funny nicknames.
