Lena Jarvie joined the BFVC team in August 2022 after studying at PIMA Institute in Dillon, MT. Lena says "the dream I had when I was seven years old came true and this is only the beginning. When I graduated Pima Medical Institute as a Certified Veterinary Assistant I had overcome many struggles and gained strength I didn’t think was possible. I have continued to learn and grow in this field after graduation and now working at Burnt Fork Veterinary Clinic I am excited to share my story and give hope to animals and their owners. In my time away from the clinic, I enjoy: sketching, reading, music, gardening, self-defense, and horseback riding. My miniature horse brings me such joy each day. Never give up hope. The struggles in the path can be stepping stones."
