Meet Our Team

Kayde joined our team as Practice manager in 2021 and has been excited to be a part of the team and community ever since.  

Originally from the Lower Kootenay's, Kayde has spent multiple years in Alberta before coming back to BC and settling on the Sunshine Coast with her furry crew, a rescued French Bulldog named Cardi and her cats.  She spends her free time hiking, kayaking, gardening, reading and enjoying all of the Sunshine Coast.  

She completed her Animal Health Technology Program in Vermillion Alberta and continued on her career path as an RVT for 15 years in small animal practice, emergency, and wildlife rehabilitation.  Over the last 5 years she has made the transition into various management roles while continuing to practice as a technician.  

She looks forward to exploring more of the Sunshine Coast and making it her permanent home.

Mary Ann was born and raised in Richmond and moved to the Sunshine Coast 10 years ago. She has a strong passion for learning, and is currently working towards becoming an RVT.  On her time off you can find her outside on the local trails or beaches with her dog Brad.

Hailing from Australia originally, Amanda joined our team at the end of 2018. After her adventures in various parts of the world, she has called the Sunshine Coast home for the last 10 years.

She has worked with dogs for 13 years in her own dog grooming business. She has been a long-time volunteer with the local SPCA.

Amanda and her husband Dean have four wonderful grown-up boys and three dogs, her latest addition is Charlotte a big beautiful Bernese Mountain dog.

Janice joined the practice in 2018. She first came to us as a client before joining our team.

Originally from Edmonton, Janice caught the travel bug at an early age. Making her way around the world as a SCUBA instructor, she got to be face-to-face – or fin to fin – with oodles of wildlife. It took almost 15 years of adventure, but she finally found her feet on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of BC and plans to stay. 

At home, Janice’s happy little family includes two dogs – Reefer a pitty-heeler mix, and Bella a red nose pitbull. You can often find them on an outdoor adventure up the mountain, or out (and in) the water!

Meet Paula, a passionate and skilled veterinary technician hailing from the vibrant landscapes of Argentina. A few years ago, Paula embarked on a new adventure, moving to the serene Sunshine Coast with her husband and their three beloved cats to find her calling at Eagle Ridge Veterinary Hospital and she has been dedicating her expertise and compassion to caring for animals ever since.

Paula's love for animals is matched only by her diverse array of interests outside the clinic. A voracious reader, she finds joy in immersing herself in the pages of a good book. Chocolate is her sweet indulgence, a small pleasure that brightens her day. An avid traveler, Paula cherishes the opportunity to explore new horizons, embracing the beauty and diversity of our world. Gardening is another passion, allowing her to connect with nature and cultivate life in her own backyard.

The Sunshine Coast has become more than just a home to Paula; it's a sanctuary. Its tranquil environment and the surrounding natural beauty offer her a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Paula truly loves living here, where the harmony of nature resonates with her spirit. At Eagle Ridge Veterinary Hospital Paula continues to share her warmth, expertise, and love for all living beings, making a difference one paw at a time.

Meet Sarah, our cherished Veterinary Client Service Representative, whose roots are embedded in the vibrant community of the Sunshine Coast. Sarah embodies the spirit of our clinic with her unwavering dedication and passion for fostering connections. Her genuine love for animals and their well-being is matched only by her commitment to our clients, creating meaningful relationships through heartfelt conversations. Sarah's ability to listen, understand, and empathize makes her an invaluable part of our team and a favorite among our clients.

Away from the clinic, Sarah immerses herself in the simple pleasures of life. An avid reader, she finds solace in the pages of a good book, allowing her imagination to soar and her mind to unwind. Family is the cornerstone of Sarah's life, and she cherishes the time spent with her three children, her partner, and his mother. Together, they create memories that last a lifetime, whether it's through shared meals, outdoor adventures, or simply enjoying each other's company at home.

Sarah's love for the outdoors extends to her green thumb. Gardening is not just a hobby for her; it's a way of relaxing. Her garden is a testament to her nurturing spirit, blooming with life and color, much like the relationships she cultivates at our clinic.

Meet Hannah, a nature enthusiast who recently traded the majestic Rockies of Banff for the endless wonders of the ocean. When she's not at work, you can find Hannah camping, hiking, or simply basking in the great outdoors with her beloved Alaskan Husky, Lester, and her charming pets, Rayna the cat and Tony, the newest addition to her fur family. Hannah's transition from snowboarding in the mountains to beachcombing for sea glass and treasures along the shore reflects her adventurous spirit and love for new experiences.

Although Hannah is new to the veterinary practice scene, her genuine passion for animals and connecting with people shines through in her work. She has seamlessly blended her background of mountain living with her newfound love for coastal living, creating a harmonious balance in her life. With Hannah on board, you can trust that your furry companions will receive not only top-notch care but also an abundance of love and attention.
