Carolyn Baum-Buttorff
Raised in rural Idaho, Carolyn developed her deep love of animals very early in life. After several years of post-college employment in the generic business world of banks, businesses, and corporations, that love pulled her back into college courses and study, and lead her to the next 23 joyful years of work in and with the veterinary community. She certified in Idaho as a Veterinary Technician in 2003, and is happy to work in the clinic in a variety of responsibilities. As Practice Manager, those responsibilities include accounting, management, and marketing duties. August 2005 marks her 15th anniversary with VMCB. She enjoys being part of a conscious, professional staff serving VMCB’s great clients and their beloved ‘feathered and furred’ family pets.

Jenny Myers Jenny has lived most of her life in
Boise, Idaho. She went to college at the University of Idaho
where she got her bachelors in Zoology. After college, she
decided to have some fun away from home and traveled to Tennessee
for a job as a wildlife rehabilitator. Two and a half years
later, she moved back west and became a zookeeper at Utah's Hogle
Zoo. Finally deciding that Boise was where she really wanted
to be, she came back home in 2002 where she started in the field as
a veterinary assistant. She has also done some work around
town at the Ruth Melichar Bird Center, the Boise Zoo, and currently
works part time at the World Center for Birds of Prey, helping
raise the California Condors. At home she has 2 dogs (pound
puppies) and a cat to keep her company, along with whatever fosters
or strays she happens to have at the time! Jenny loves to
stay busy and throughout the year plays soccer (both indoor and
outdoor), softball, volleyball, loves to be in the hills hiking
with her dogs, and throws in an occasional night of poker.
Never a quiet night for her! |
