Samantha joined the team at Two Rivers in June 2015. She graduated from North Dakota State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Technology in 2017.

Samantha currently lives in Christine, ND, with her husband, David, and furry family members Pepe, Lucy, and Freddy. In her spare time, she enjoys shopping, hunting, and spending time with family and friends. Samantha also takes pride in managing the clinic’s inventory.

Alyssa has been known to sing to the animals when no one’s watching, which the pets (and clients!) seem to love. Her happiest moments? “When a pet gives you ‘that look’ after you fix them up – it’s like a secret high-five!” Alyssa has a soft spot for “first vet visits” and claims there’s nothing more adorable than a baby animal trying to act brave.

Kayla grew up in Wadena, Minnesota, and joined our team in September 2019. She graduated in May 2019 with an AAS degree in Veterinary Technology from Ridgewater College’s Veterinary Technician Program. She currently lives in Fargo with her cat, Sammy.

Kayla enjoys working hands-on with the animals that come into the practice. Her special interest is learning how to interpret radiographs.

Kayla loves to hang out with friends and enjoys going on any kind of adventure/traveling.

Kaitie’s love for animals started with her family’s aging rescue dog, who taught her the magic of patience and belly rubs. Kaitie’s “treat trick” usually wins even the shyest patients over. What does she love most about the job? “The surprise hugs! There’s nothing better than a sudden, squirmy cuddle from a happy pup or kitten.”

Manda’s journey in vet med began with a pet lizard that stole her heart, and she hasn’t looked back since. Known for her endless patience and steady hands, Manda is an expert at making even the tiniest patients feel safe. Her favorite part of the job? “When a puppy thinks the stethoscope is a chew toy – it’s hard to keep a straight face!”

Ashlee grew up convinced she could talk to animals, which naturally led her to a career in veterinary medicine. While she admits her “meow-to-English” translations aren’t always perfect, her love for pets and knack for making them feel comfortable never miss the mark. When she’s not helping patients at Two Rivers Vet Hospital, you’ll likely find her testing new homemade dog treat recipes (her own pup is the very spoiled taste-tester) or attempting to teach her cat party tricks. She’s thrilled to bring her energy and creativity to our team!

Tammi is a proud “second-career” vet tech who followed her heart straight into veterinary medicine. After years in another field, she realized her happiest moments always involved animals—and decided to make them her full-time focus. She has a special talent for putting even the most nervous pets at ease and is quickly becoming a favorite among our four-legged visitors. At home, Tammi is kept busy by her own furry crew and enjoys exploring new hiking trails. She’s thrilled to be part of the Two Rivers team and to spend her days helping pets live their best lives.
