In her position, Virginia ensures that daily operations run smoothly, allowing the medical team to deliver quality patient care in a modern, up-to-date facility. From the moment clients walk through the door, Virginia works with her team to ensure their experience is positive. Family Pet Hospital’s support of the community and surrounding area is important to Virginia, and she integrates this into her leadership. This includes providing in-hospital student mentorship, collaborating with rescue organizations, supporting Tails of Help and the Alberta Spay and Neuter Task Force, and working with the veterinary community in Lethbridge.

Virginia doesn’t slow down outside of work either, with dirt bike races on her calendar most weekends in the summer. She enjoys camping with family and spending time with friends. At home, Virginia and her partner are entertained by the antics of their busy toddler son, their Frenchton, Rodney, their black cat, Chicken Wing, and their other French Bulldog, Rory-Roo.
