Kat S.
Hi, I'm Kat! Animals have been part of my soul since I was incredibly little. At age 6 I brought home a hurt, stray squirrel and my mother was horrified. I officially started working with animals at age 14, mucking horse stalls at my local barn. I then progressed to spending many years as a groomer to FEI and Olympic horses. I began my journey in the veterinary medicine field working with small animals in 2014, took a short break, and now I've returned! In my spare time I love spending time with my daughter, my pitbull, going on outdoor adventures, watching true crime documentaries, and finding joy in the little things in life.

Cat R.
Greetings! Originally from Colorado and California, I moved to the East Coast in 2009 and have been in Northern Virginia since 2010 where I finished high school and college. Though I was never sure what I wanted to be “when I grew up,” one thing never changed: my love of animals. I worked as a receptionist at another vet hospital for a year and a half before becoming a veterinary assistant at OVVH. I am so grateful to be doing what I love with such a wonderful team! Outside of work I enjoy gaming, art, studying languages, and listening to metal.

June P.
Hello, I'm June. Originally from Korea, I have relocated to Virginia where I am truly enjoying my life with my family. I graduated from veterinary school in Korea and before I become a veterinarian in the U.S., I am working at OVVH as a vet assistant. Working here has been a great pleasure for me, as I am able to continue my passion for helping animals while learning and growing my skills. When I have the time, I love to find great local restaurants, and indulge in delicious meals. I believe that good food brings people together and creates memorable experiences. Also, I love to find hidden dog parks with my dog, Gomsoon, a Mini Bernadoodle.
