Corinne’s love for animals started from a young age when volunteering for rescue adoption events with her animal science classes and FFA participation. She began her professional career in this industry back in 2005 as the Animal Care Manager for a boarding pet resort, doggy day camp, and grooming salon. Her hands-on animal husbandry position continued to advance over the next 13 years from oversight of a variety of pets in a single center, to multi-unit experience as Area Manager. Her experience included training of team members for pet care operations both locally in Connecticut as well as five other states (CO, FL, GA, NC, NY and VA) including Walt Disney World’s pet resort. She has always been fascinated by veterinary medicine, especially the variety of medicine available to owners through specialty services. Corinne’s education in Organizational Leadership helped shape her interest for the continued pursuit of business management at a Specialty Hybrid Veterinary Hospital.
Corinne lives in a Cape Cod style home in Meriden, CT surrounded by one’s own cultivated gardens. Some of her favorite hobbies include being in nature, hiking and camping, accompanied by her husband and three dogs. When she’s not making arts and crafts or enjoying a summer music concert, you can find her at a baseball game cheering on the Yardgoats or Yankees!
