Julie A., Clinic Manager:

I have been employed by Northwoods for 5 years.  My degree is in nursing and I have had additional training and experience in the field of management.  I am married to a wonderful man named Len , and we have three fantastic daughters:  Jennifer, Melissa, and  Sarah.  I also have five grandchildren with whom I enjoy spending time.  Since I began suffering from "empty nest" syndrome, I have acquired 4 dogs (Tess, Angel, Spike, and Mini), 2 parrots (Squeaks and  Sweetie), tropical fish, and I also raise Japanese Koi.  With all of my pets, it gets a little noisy at my house, but I thoroughly enjoy their company.  I love decorating and spending time in  my flower garden.  I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of the Northwoods Veterinary Center team, and I am proud of the quality of care and compassion that is given to the animals and owners who come to our clinic.  If you have not been to our clinic, here is your invitation to tour our facility.  Visitors are always welcome.













OFFICE SUPPORT TEAM MEMBERS:

Julie S.  I have been a receptionist at Northwoods Veterinary Center since 2005.  The family-like environment and unique learning experiences I have shared with clients, their pets, and our staff make my job very rewarding.  I attended NWTC and earned an Associate in Applied Science degree in Health Information Technology.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  My husband, Lynn, and I have 2 daughters, Kaitie and Liza, and 2 cats whom we all adore named Pearl and Ming.

Arlene:  I have been a receptionist at Northwoods for two years, now.  I’m married with 2 children.  Originally from North Carolina, I now live in Suring and share my home with 3 dogs and 2 cats.  My family enjoys the outdoors, especially a day at the park with Cheyenne, the Chocolate Labrador, Sarge, the black labrador mix, and Gizmo the Cocker Spaniel mix.  They bring us almost as much joy as our children, Jazmyn and Dalton.  The one thing we miss most from the South is Sweet Tea!  That's a small price to pay for moving to such a wonderful place.
