Danielle completed her Bachelor of Science from Simon Fraser University in 2018. She had the privilege of working with birds and fish which unveiled her passion for animal biology. After graduating, she joined the Lynn Valley Vet team in 2018. After grabbing a coffee and enjoying a nice walk, Danielle enjoys watching true crime shows with her husband Brandon, her rat babies Smudge, Fir, Willow, and the newest addition; Arlo, her shepherd mix puppy.

Sadie completed her degree in Molecular Biology from SFU in 2019 and joined our team early in 2020. Her passions are split equally between travel, art, and continuing to pursue and study biology.
