Meet Our Veterinary Support Team in Boxborough, MA

Kerri is our Head Technician and has been with us for over 10 years. She earned her Bachelor of Science in wildlife management with a minor in marine biology from the University of New Hampshire in 1997. Three years later, she achieved certification as a veterinary technician while working at the Animal Rescue League of Boston. It was during these years that Kerri developed a strong interest in veterinary dentistry. We were elated to have Kerri join our team in 2007. Kerri does not currently have pets of her own, but she enjoys spending time with her canine and feline “nieces” and “nephews”: Rudy, Penelope, Jax, Melaza, and the newest family addition, Ziggy. We know it is only a matter of time before another four-legged creature steals her heart. Kerri is a lifelong resident of the North Shore and enjoys traveling, photography, kayaking, and art.

Kayla joined the VDS team late in 2017 after working for 4 years in general practice at a local veterinary hospital. She graduated from State University of New York-Canton with an Associate’s degree in Veterinary Science Technology in 2013. Prior to working in the field of veterinary medicine, Kayla worked as a teaching assistant at a children’s daycare center. Kayla grew up locally in Stow, but now lives in Ayer with her fiancée Mark, her mixed-breed dog Koga, and her dilute calico cat Roxy.

Tiffany started her veterinary career working at a general practice for 5 years, where she did an emergency rotation and soon moved to surgery. This is where her interest in dentistry began. Tiffany pursued a few of her interests in veterinary physical therapy, rehab, and acupuncture for the next few years. While she loved doing this, she still wanted to pursue her interests in dentistry. Shortly after, she saw there was an opening at VDS and took that as a sign! Tiffany graduated from New England Institute of Technology with an Associate’s Degree in Veterinary Technology in 2013 and shortly after became a Certified Veterinary Technician. Tiffany currently lives in a home with her fiancé Justin and their Border Collie, Willow. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, hiking, and crafting.

Melissa joined the VDS team in 2022. She has been a veterinary technician for over 25 years, working in general practice. Her interest has always been dentistry, so she was happy to find VDS and expand her knowledge. She especially likes the complexity of advanced cases, as she did not get to experience that in general practice. Melissa has three dogs: Jessie, a Lab mix; Phoebe, a Pug; and Roxie, a Terrier mix. She also lives with a cat named Pretty Kitty and two green-spotted puffer fish. Melissa lives with her husband and two boys near VDS. When not at work, she loves to be on the water, gardening, bird watching, and reading.

Sharon is a Certified Veterinary Technician who graduated from Massasoit Community College. Her love and compassion for small animals originated when she was young, back in the Philippines. She joined VDS during the spring of 2024. She interned at VDS in the summer of 2022, where she caught a glimpse of how it is working with positive people in a specialized field with a great culture and superb teaching and working environment. Prior to starting at VDS, she explored other areas that sparked her interest, including a veterinary assistant in a general practice, a veterinary surgical assistant, and a float technician in veterinary emergency and specialty facilities. She takes every role earnestly, no matter how big or small. Aside from her work, she cherishes moments with her husband and two energetic boys, who love trying new foods, hiking, riding the T, strolling the streets of Boston, riding bikes, visiting new places, exploring parks, and taking walks in nearby trails along the Charles River, Walden Pond, and around their neighborhood. She has a 14-year-old Shih Tzu mix named Mon-Mon that she brought from the Philippines to remind her of home. She hopes to someday advance her skills and knowledge in the field of veterinary medicine.
