As summer comes to a close, we’re also saying “see you later” to two very special members of the Sandbridge Veterinary Center family.
Over the past two years, Carissa and Noah have been much more than high school students with part-time jobs—they’ve been dedicated teammates who have helped care for our patients, supported our clients, and made a lasting impact on our hospital.
🐾 Carissa has grown tremendously during her time at Sandbridge, working in our kennel, at the veterinary reception desk, and most notably alongside our medical team as a veterinary technician. Her compassion, wonderful attitude, work ethic, and eagerness to learn have made her a favorite among both our staff and clients. We’re excited to see her begin this next chapter at the University of Florida (UF) studying Animal Biology/Pre Vet. **
🐾 Noah is a family friend of the Bissells who played baseball with their oldest son Ethan when they were 11 yrs old. Noah has worn many hats during his time with us, working in our Pet Resort in Daycare, Boarding, and at the Resort reception desk. His positive attitude, reliability, and willingness to jump in wherever needed have made him an invaluable part of our team. This fall, he’ll be heading to the University of Central Florida (UCF) studying Physical Therapy, and we know he’ll accomplish amazing things.
Watching both of you grow from high school students into confident, capable young adults has been a privilege. Thank you for your hard work, your kindness, and the countless ways you’ve contributed to Sandbridge over the past two years.
We are incredibly proud of you both and can’t wait to see where this next adventure takes you. Remember, you’ll always have a home here at Sandbridge Veterinary Center.
🧡💙Please join Dr Bissell and Sandbridge in wishing Carissa and Noah the very best as they begin their college journeys!
