Our Careteam

We put the patients first!

Angela

Angela

Office Manager

Whenever anyone would ask her what she wanted to be when she grew up, Angela had her answer ready: someone who worked hands-on with animals. She’s been passionate about pet care ever since she can remember! That’s why she decided to become a veterinary professional. Now, Angela is a proud member of Small Animal Hospital’s Veterinary Assistant team.

Angela is originally from Mexico but grew up right here in Fort Myers, Florida. After searching for a program in which to study veterinary technology, she stumbled across Cape Coral Technical College—Angela knew right away that she had found her calling.

She completed her internship here at Small Animal Hospital, and was thrilled to accept a position after finishing her program requirements. Angela has been a member of the clinic family ever since! She’s particularly fond of learning new things on a daily basis and spending one-on-one time with her adorable patients.

Angela’s interests outside of the veterinary world include reading, listening to music, and spending quality time with her family. Along with her parents, two younger sisters, and a younger brother, she shares her life with many pets: seven dogs, a cat, a hedgehog, three chickens, and even a few fish.

Brigitte is originally from New Jersey and worked in the administrative field for more than 10 years. She moved to Florida in 2017 and attended Cape Coral Technical College to study animal care, completing an internship at the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife in Sanibel during her coursework, and was then referred to Small Animal Hospital in the spring of 2018. Brigitte has been a part of the clinic family ever since!

Fishard

Clinic Mascot

Fishard, Small Animal Hospital’s bearded dragon, joined our team in March of 2023. The manager at the time gave the staff permission to get a pet fish, however the staff had other plans in mind. The team loved the idea of having a bearded dragon as a pet as they had previous positive experiences with them.

He has his own space in the front office as well as his own window perch to bask in the sun. Every day, Fishard goes for walks to get the mail and gets to sit outside on the rocks. Fishard loves the attention he receives from all and loves to be held! His favorite foods are worms and Bok Choy.

Fishard takes part in all of the holiday decorations, so watch our Facebook page to see how he shows off his festiveness!
