Our Careteam

Angie first came to Markham Veterinary Clinic when helping a friend—and a longtime client of Markham Veterinary Clinic’s—take her cat to the vet. Angie’s friend overheard that there was a position available for part-time work, and encouraged Angie to follow her animal-care dream and apply. In the spring of 2000, Angie joined the hospital family and has been happily serving the needs of pets and clients here ever since!

Around the clinic, Angie is responsible for everything from scheduling and payroll to human resources tasks and performance evaluations. She’s particularly fond her role in human resources, and loves organizing and scheduling to best meet the needs of her fellow staff members, the clinic’s clients, and pet owners’ beloved animal companions. Most of all, Angie loves being a part of a team that provides life-long support and education to pet parents.

At home, Angie lives with her husband, their two daughters, and a laid-back cat named Hunter. Growing up with two girls in his domain, Hunter has had to put up with wearing outfits, sleeping in doll beds, and being carried around like a baby!

A Markham native, Jamie launched her veterinary journey when she started working at a local pet store. A few years later, she began walking and sitting animals in her neighborhood before joining a college program to study Veterinary Assistant work. It was through her schooling that she completed a cooperative career placement right here at Markham Veterinary Clinic; after Jamie’s requirements were finished, she was more than happy to accept a position! She’s been a member of the hospital family since March of 2018.

Jamie has a special interest in pet nutrition, and loves to see how proper diet can affect a patient’s overall health—she even earned a pet nutrition certificate through her collegiate studies! She’s also fond of soaking up knowledge from the clinic’s doctors and support staff. Most of all, Jamie loves being able to give pet owners peace of mind through the power of veterinary care.

At home, Jamie and her family share their lives with two dogs—Charles the Pug and a Yorkshire Terrier who goes by Bam Bam—as well as a pair of hairless Sphynx cats named Casper and Norman.

Kelly was first hired by Markham Veterinary Clinic as a part-time student employee in 1989. After attending Ridgetown College and graduating as a Registered Veterinary Technician in 1996, she continued working here as a Tech and has done so ever since. Kelly is now the Practice Manager and still works as a Veterinary Technician a few days a week.

Medically, Kelly is a big fan of dermatology work, and loves the challenge of diagnosing and treating complicated skin and ear conditions. She’s also passionate about client education, and finds that discussing proper pet care techniques with animal owners is the most satisfying part of her job.

When she’s not caring for the area’s pets here at the clinic, Kelly enjoys reading and listening to music. She lives just outside of Markham with her husband, their two beautiful daughters, and a fun-loving boxer named Dazey.

Lorraine grew up in a small town north of Markham, and began her studies in veterinary medicine right after high school. She graduated from Seneca College in 1996 and passed her exam to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. In December of 2002, after being referred by an acquaintance of hers, Lorraine joined the Markham Veterinary Clinic team and has been here ever since.

When she’s not at work, Lorraine enjoys spending time with her family and enjoying the great outdoors on her rural property. She shares her home with Jade, an elderly Border collie, and her daughters’ guinea pig, Fudge.

Taryn hails from Hamilton, Ontario and moved to Markham in November of 2017 after having lived and worked in Toronto. She was thrilled to start here at the clinic in April of 2018, and serves the area’s pets and animal parents as a Client Services Representative. Taryn finds that she especially likes learning new things on a daily basis from her skilled coworkers, and she’s very fond of the team-based, family-centered atmosphere here at the hospital.

When she has free time away from the office, Taryn enjoys reading good books and hiking and camping in the great outdoors. She and her boyfriend share their lives with a dog, Winston, who loves to accompany them on their wilderness adventures.
