STOUGHTON VETERINARY SERVICES - Key Persons
Amanda grew up in Regina. As a young girl, she had always talked about having a career in the veterinary profession. Both of her parents grew up on farms, so she spent a lot of her summers there, helping with the cattle, poultry, and whatever other miscellaneous animals were out there at that time. She always had a special interest in large animals.
Amanda completed her Veterinary Technology diploma in Saskatoon, and continued to work in the city where she dealt with various small animals.
In January of 2018, Amanda decided she wanted to finally explore her interest and hidden love for large animal, and joined the Stoughton Vet Service team.
Amanda spends most of her free time spoiling her chickens, ducks, cats, and chasing her dogs Sadie and Emma around the country side.
Michelle Anderson was born and raised in Melita, a small farming community in southwest Manitoba. Through many weekend trips to Grandpa's farm, her love of animals grew. This coupled with her love of science fueled her desire to enter the field of veterinary medicine.
Michelle attained her Bachelor of Science with a major in zoology from Brandon University in 2003. This paved the way for her acceptance into the veterinary medicine program at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. She attained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in June 2007.
Michelle worked in Regina at Lakewood Animal Hospital from 2007 until 2014, and started at Stoughton Veterinary Services in 2015. Her interests include soft tissue surgery and acupuncture. She most recently travelled to Portland, Oregon to attain her Certification in Veterinary Acupuncture through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society in 2012.
Michelle lives in Lampman with two cats, Larry Taylor and Minina, and a mischievous, but loveable dog, Lou. In her spare time Michelle enjoys quadding, running (very slowly), and spending time with family and friends.
Emily grew up just outside of Corning on a mixed farm with a wide array of animals (horses, chickens, turkeys, sheep, cows, a llama, cats and dogs to name a few). She showed horses and was active in the Corning Multiple 4-H club throughout school. Emily attended SaskPolytechnic in Saskatoon for Veterinary Technology, graduated in 2016 and started working at the clinic shortly after.
She now resides in the metropolis of Corning with her two cats (Hocus and VooDoo), three dogs (Lemon, Jake and Ivy), a chinchilla (Magic), and still has a funny farm of animals. She keeps her six horses, two mini donkeys (possibly turning into three, #BabyDonkey2k19) and way too many chickens (but not as many as Amanda so it's okay) at her parents farm just outside of Corning (your welcome Mom and Dad)!
Emily enjoys the large animal aspect of the clinic but also likes working with cats and dogs. She spends many hours training and working with her herd (yes herd…) of horses, and also enjoys volleyball and hunting.
Sarah grew up in Colgate, SK on a farm with cows, horses, chickens and various cats and dogs. She grew up showing cattle in Lomond 4-H Beef Club and horses in the Weyburn Light Horse 4-H Club. She always had an interest in animals and knew she would eventually work in a veterinary related field.
Sarah graduated from Weyburn Comprehensive School in June of 2006. After taking a year off after graduation she was then accepted into Animal Health Technology at Lakeland College in Vermilion, AB. She graduated from the AHT program in May of 2009.
