In her spare time, Brynn reads, enjoys hanging out with her family and friends, and tries to do as much travelling as she can.

SUMMER BRIDEN RVT
"Summer is originally from Woodlands, Manitoba, she graduated from the Veterinary Technology program at Red River College in 2021. She has spent the last 5 years working in small animal medicine and loves getting to know patients (big and small) and their people! She had a special interest in nutrition when working with small animals and would like to build on that interest in equine medicine. She also hopes to one day get her VTS (vet tech specialty), but is unsure in which specialty.
At home she shares her life with a rescue dog named Elliot and an elderly cat named Flower, who keep her busy and remind her daily why she chose a career in veterinary medicine. Outside of work, she enjoys spending her time outdoors, making memories with friends and family, and has just recently found a passion in travelling the world whenever she gets the chance."
