Catherine is a veterinary technician at VCA AVH Animal Hospital in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania, where she supports patient care with a steady, hands-on approach shaped by a lifetime of working with animals. Having grown up on a farm caring for horses, dogs, cats, and other animals, she brings a natural comfort and instinctive understanding that helps pets feel at ease and supported throughout their visit.
Catherine earned her associate degree in veterinary technology from NCC/LCCC in 2017, graduating with honors. Her early experiences caring for animals, combined with her formal training, have shaped a practical, grounded approach to veterinary care that focuses on consistency, patience, and attention to detail.
“I enjoy being a voice for animals and taking care of them. Growing up around animals every day taught me how to read their behavior and help them feel more comfortable, even when they’re nervous or unsure.”
Catherine is actively involved in surgical and dental procedures, where her steady approach and attention to detail support patient care before, during, and after treatment. She works closely with the medical team to help ensure each patient is cared for thoughtfully and consistently at every stage of their visit. She values the connection she builds with both pets and their families and takes pride in supporting care that feels both reliable and attentive. Her approach is rooted in patience, understanding, and a genuine commitment to each animal she works with.
“Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I try to treat every pet the way I would my own, with patience, attention, and respect for what they need.”
Catherine looks forward to continuing to support pets and families in Pen Argyl and the surrounding Slate Belt communities as part of the AVH team, bringing a lifetime of experience and a natural, instinctive connection with animals to every patient she cares for. Her goal is to ensure each pet is handled with patience and understanding, creating an experience where they feel as comfortable and at ease as possible throughout their visit.
