Our Careteam

We put the patients first!

Angela

Angela

Receptionist, Kennel Technician

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.

Nancy

Nancy

Veterinary Technician

Nancy entered the veterinary profession because of her grandfather, who had always seen how caring and compassionate Nancy was around pets. He got Nancy her first job in the animal-care world, and her career took off from there! Now, she’s a Veterinary Technician here at Small Animal Hospital.

Born in Heidelberg, Germany, Nancy lived in Holland, Georgia, Colorado, and New Jersey while growing up thanks to her father’s career in the United States Army. After he retired, the family settled in southern Florida. It was during her college career that Nancy first started working at a local pet shop; two years later, she took a job with the veterinarian that worked for the store and remained there for the next four years.

Nancy became a member of the Small Animal Hospital team in the summer of 2004. Dr. DuPre had recently found himself in need of a Veterinary Technician, and Nancy was more than happy to fill the position. Here at the clinic, she’s particularly fond of helping pets to feel better via thorough dental cleanings.

Outside of work, Nancy enjoys reading good books, listening to music, watching television and movies, cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Miami Dolphins, and staying active in her church as a lector and minister. She also loves to spend time with her family and pets—Nancy shares her life with Scamper, a cat who was found as a stray kitten; Caesar, and an elderly feline who likes to think he is a tiger.

Brigitte

Brigitte

Veterinary Assistant, Kennel Technician

Brigitte was surrounded by animals growing up, and she’s always felt an innate passion for their care and well-being. For her, a career in animal medicine simply made sense. Now, Brigitte is living her dream—she gets to care for pets hands-on as a part of a team of animal-lovers just like herself!

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!

Away from work, Brigitte enjoys spending time with her young daughter—who already has her sights set on becoming a veterinarian—and the family pets. Brigitte shares her home with Riley and Midnight, both Cocker Spaniels, a Chihuahua mix named Roxy, and a grumpy senior cat named Stoli.

“One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.”
