About

Beth started with Ark in 2019 during her internship through the Macomb Community College Veterinary Technician program, and then graduated and passed the VTNE exam later that same year. Beth had always wanted to work with animals and found her calling in being a technician, as she enjoys providing treatment and exceptional care. Beth enjoys the wide variety of species that we see, and has a special passion for surgery (especially dentals) and exotic husbandry (especially parrots!).

Beth's time outside of work is spent with friends and family, and she enjoys watching the latest movies and popular shows, reading books, and spending time with her critters, which are two dogs (Greta and Hunter), cat (Felix), and three parrots (Charlee, Jitterbug, and Lieutenant).

Jennie graduated from Baker College of Clinton Township with her AAS in 2011. She passed the state and national board exams and got her Veterinary Technician license in 2011. Jennie joined our team in 2022 after working at several general practices and a rehabilitation facility.

Jennie enjoys working with exotics, nutrition counseling, and alternative therapies for pain management. She shares her home with her husband, cat Aramis, dove Lovey Dovey, and ball python Timmy. In her free time she enjoys motorcycles, time at her cabin, camping, rock hunting, and reading.

Born and raised in Michigan, Marie began working in the veterinary field in 2010, and became a licensed technician after graduating from Macomb Community College in 2020. She landed here at Ark in August 2025, and shares her passion for emergency medicine and end-of-life care. Marie is also committed to lifelong learning and is enthusiastic about sharing what she discovers with both clients and her fellow veterinary professionals.

Outside of work, Marie enjoys spending time with her fiance and their cats at home, with friends having new experiences, and winds down with creative projects, mostly crochet.
