Licensed Veterinary Technicians
Krystal, LVT
Krystal is a North Dakota native who completed her Veterinary Technician training at Globe University. She joined the Southwood team in July of 2013. While not as big as your average bear, Krystal is an amazing Technician, able to work comfortably with large or small animals. As a trained Technician, her duties include; competence in the lab, surgical nursing, monitoring anesthesia, and assisting with large animals in the clinic or field, among many other responsibilities. When she’s not running around the clinic at break-neck speed Krystal can be found curled up with her chihuahua (Chloe), spending time with her kids and husband and camping. We are excited to be a part of Krystal’s journey as Veterinary Technician.
Madelyn, LVT
Madelyn started working for SVC in 2009 as a high school dog walker. Even as she was completing her four year degree as an LVT, she would come back and pitch in wherever we needed her. Her dedication to SVC rivaled only by her dedication to the animals she cares for. She is a born horsewoman but is equally comfortable out on cattle herd work, or in the surgery suite. It has been very satisfying to see her mature into a very competant veterinary technician.
Rachel, LVT
Rachel is a part time Licensed Veterinary Technician and joined our staff in September of 2015. She graduated from Ridgewater College with an A.A.S. in Veterinary Technology. She also graduated from South Dakota State University with a B.S. in Animal Science Production, an Equine Science Minor, and a Business Minor. She has certifications in dog training and canine behavior. She has 4 dogs (Chloe, Libby, Rosco and Xander), 1 cat (Percy), and a turtle (Roxy). Rachel is originally from Minnesota and enjoys fishing, snowboarding, and riding horse.
