One of her pigs even won “Grand Champion Feeder Pig!” She was the kid who was always bringing home lost, stray, and sick animals and nursing them back to health.

She became a CVT in Oregon in 2010 and is also licensed in AZ and CA. She is currently continuing her education through Penn Foster College to become a veterinary practice manager. With over 26 years of experience, she has come to enjoy mentoring and teaching. She is excited to rejoin GVC team—she previously worked with us from 2013-2015.

Mia (She/Her)

Mia (She/Her)

Lead Certified Veterinary Technician, Inventory Manager & Fear Free Certified Professional Level 2 + Avian

Mia was born and raised in Israel. The job that made her begin her veterinary path was an assistant job in a large veterinary hospital in Israel. She had no prior experience working with animals, but once she started, she realized that this was what she was meant to do.

In 2012, her little family (her husband Ran and her golden retriever Messi) relocated from Israel to San Francisco. During the four years she was there, she completed her Veterinary Technology degree at San Juan College, earning her Certified Veterinary Technician license. She worked as a veterinary technician at San Francisco Animal Care and Control. Even though it was very emotional work at times, dealing with abused or neglected animals, she loved working at the shelter, especially when she was able to treat wildlife:  baby owls, raccoons, skunks, and even seagulls​!

In 2016, Mia and her family relocated to Portland, and she joined the Gladstone Veterinary Clinic team. They fell in love with the small-town vibe and all of the beautiful nature that surrounds Portland. In her spare time, Mia enjoys watching movies, reading sci-fi and fantasy books, and spending quality time with her family (both 2-legged and 4-legged).

JuneBug

JuneBug

Director of Fun

JuneBug is a basset hound-shar-pei mix (long body, short legs, and a bunch of extra skin) who was rescued off the streets of Northern California. As Dr. ten Broeke’s personal assistant, she comes to work every day and cannot wait to greet all of her co-workers each morning. When days become stressful or sad, she is always ready to give a consoling hug or participate in a game of “stretchy-face” or fetch. “Throw the ball! It will make you feel better!” She is also “certified” in acupressure and is convinced that having her 63-lb body sitting on you will bring you joy and peace, and it’s true. She is a two-time cancer fighter—she was diagnosed with a splenic hemangiosarcoma in June of 2021 and an aggressive oral melanoma in August of 2021.
