๐ Meet the Team! ๐
Please join us in welcoming Mariana, LVT, to the Stone Cottage Veterinary Hospital family! ๐พ๐
โจ A little about Mariana: I always wanted to work with animals ever since I was young. I felt that I had this connection with them that was stronger than any connection I could get from a person. In high school, I was torn between being a nurse or being a vet nurse. I enrolled in the CNA program and got my certification but working for a bit, I knew this wasnโt for me. I then went to SUNY Ulster after graduation and enrolled into the Veterinary Technology program. I graduated fall 2024 and passed my VTNE May 2025. I finally got my license in July. In my free time I love to draw and watch romance/drama shows with my family. I also love to fish/kayak on the weekends. I have gone camping every year at the end of June with my family since I was born, to Beaver Pond.
