WE PUT THE ‘CARE’ IN CARE TEAM!

Kourtney

Practice Manager

Kourtney knew as a small child that her calling in life was to work with animals. She grew up with a yellow lab named Max, and the bond they shared from birth was beyond anything words can describe. In fact, it is Max that Kourtney credits as her inspiration for not only entering the veterinary field, but for always surrounding herself with a houseful of pets at home. Kourtney’s love for animals is evident in every interaction that she has with our clients and patients!

While her initial goal growing up was to become a veterinarian, as is often the case, life took Kourtney in another direction. She served in the Navy and then transitioned into civilian life as a warehouse worker. When faced with layoffs, Kourtney decided it was time to finally pursue her childhood dream and became a veterinary assistant. Nearly 15 years later, she has climbed the ranks to veterinary technician, and most recently, to practice manager. Professionally, Kourtney has a special place in her heart for misunderstood or factious animals.

At home, Kourtney is the proud pet-mom of 16 animals, including eight dogs and eight cats. When she’s not busy working or tending to her mini-zoo of furbabies, you’ll probably find Kourtney either watching or playing basketball – a passion she shares with her entire family. One silly fact about Kourtney is that she is extremely sensitive to the smell of feces, so if you bring in a sample, don’t be surprised if she starts dry heaving uncontrollably.

Catrina

Registered Veterinary Technician

Catrina Peck joined the Breton Veterinary Hospital team in June 2025, but her connection to the clinic started a year earlier during her summer internship through the University of New Hampshire. From her first day, she felt a strong alignment with the practice’s mission—and after completing her Associate’s Degree in Veterinary Technology and passing her VTNE, she returned to Breton full time.

Catrina’s journey into veterinary medicine was shaped by personal experiences. Growing up, she witnessed pets in her own family suffer from preventable health issues—many of which could have been avoided with proper care and information. That stuck with her. Today, she’s driven by the goal of educating pet owners, promoting healthier lives for animals, and reducing suffering through compassionate, informed care.

While in school, Catrina was highly involved in hands-on learning, completing two internships near her hometown and working at the New Hampshire SPCA. She also held teaching assistant and veterinary assistant roles through a federal work-study program and became Fear Free Certified—all experiences that laid the groundwork for the care she provides today.

At Breton, Catrina especially enjoys dental cleanings and oral health care. The transformation from neglected teeth to healthy, pearly whites never gets old. She also has a strong interest in ophthalmology—an area many shy away from, but one she finds endlessly fascinating.

Catrina shares her home with three unique cats: Layla, a nonstop talker; Rascal, who alternates between grumpy old man and cuddle bug; and Tigger, a relentless food thief with an appetite bigger than his belly.

Caring, committed, and curious, Catrina is proud to be part of the Breton Veterinary Hospital team—working each day to make a meaningful difference in the lives of pets and their people.

Brittany

Veterinary Assistant

Brittany Morgan—better known as Britt—is the original team member at Breton Veterinary Hospital, having joined in 2020. Known for her no-nonsense love for animals and her fierce dedication, she’s always felt more at home with animals than people. Being a true voice for animals drives her every day.

Britt’s journey into veterinary care wasn’t typical. She started as a hostess at Outback Steakhouse, but it didn’t take long to realize her heart was elsewhere. When she found her way to the Breton Veterinary Hospital family, it all clicked. Today, she loves helping first-time puppy parents navigate vaccines and preventatives. One of her daily highlights? Starting her morning with a hug for Casino, the receptionist’s dog, before diving into the day’s adventures.

At home, Britt’s pack includes three pups: Pumpkin, a cheeseburger-obsessed Chihuahua; Piggy, a tiny ankle-biter with attitude; and Koda, a sweet Husky who sheds too much.

When she’s not caring for pets, you’ll find her at the gym six days a week—because wrangling big dogs takes real strength and she trains hard six days a week to keep up. Fitness isn’t just a hobby—it’s part of the job. With her blend of grit, humor, and genuine care, Britt helps keep our practice running strong, one puppy visit at a time.

Ashley

Veterinary Technician Assistant

Growing up in Southern Maryland, Ashley Richardt was always the caretaker, especially when it came to animals. As a middle child in a close-knit family, she found joy in nurturing her fur-babies, even bottle-feeding her childhood cat. But it wasn’t until later in life, after years spent in retail, that she realized her true calling: working hands-on with animals.

Determined to follow her dream, Ashley enrolled in Animal Behavioral College, diving into the world of veterinary care with curiosity and excitement. Her internship at Breton Veterinary Hospital opened the door, but when no positions were available, she didn’t give up. Instead, she gained valuable experience at a doggy daycare, caring for pets and honing her skills. Just a few months later, fate came calling when Breton Veterinary Hospital offered her a permanent role.

After adopting a young beagle who developed seizures, Ashley experienced the heartbreak of feeling helpless. Losing her dog to a cluster seizure was devastating, but it also inspired her to seek out knowledge. That experience still drives her to ensure every pet and pet parent she meets is empowered with care and information.

Outside the clinic, Ashley’s heart belongs to her family. She’s been married to her high school sweetheart since 2017, and together they’ve welcomed their first son, who’s already stealing hearts (and dropping food for their beagle, Duke, a.k.a. “the vacuum”). Home is her happy place, filled with laughter, love, and the joy of watching her little boy grow.

For Ashley, this isn’t just a job—it’s the life she always wanted. And even on the messiest days, when there’s puppy breath, blood, or a splatter of something less glamorous, she wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Damian

Receptionist

For Damian Blum, returning to veterinary medicine wasn’t just about a job; it was about rediscovering a community where his passions for animals and people intersect seamlessly. After spending a few years in the corporate world, Damian realized that office life lacked the warmth and connection he craved. Since then, Damian has become the welcoming face at the front desk, blending his love for animals with his innate ability to connect with people.

Growing up in Virginia, Damian was always surrounded by animals. This lifelong bond with pets naturally led him to the veterinary field. What sets Damian apart is his genuine enthusiasm for both animals and their owners. He delights in greeting new puppies, sharing stories with clients about their beloved pets, and ensuring everyone feels at home the moment they walk through the doors.

At home, Damian shares his life with Casino, a four-year-old deaf French Bulldog with a personality as vibrant as his name. Known for his sociable nature and signature “side eye,” Casino embodies the kind of spirited companion that fuels Damian’s dedication to animal care.

Beyond the clinic, Damian nurtures a thriving collection of houseplants—35 and counting. His green thumb reflects the same patience and care he offers to every client and pet he comes across. At Breton Veterinary Hospital, Damian has found a place where he can truly make a difference, one warm greeting and wagging tail at a time.

Willow

Kennel Technician

Willow O’Malley became part of the Breton Veterinary Hospital team in July 2024. After gaining hands-on experience with a variety of pets in the pet boarding field, Willow was eager to take the next step in her journey—and she’s never looked back.

Growing up as a military child, Willow moved around the world, living in places like Germany and Texas. That global upbringing gave her a unique appreciation for diversity—in people, cultures, and animals. Wherever she lived, one thing stayed constant: her passion for caring for animals. Her very first job was at a kennel, and that experience ignited a lifelong desire to work with animals, not just as a hobby, but as a true calling.

One of her most unforgettable moments was meeting Gunther, the first cat she ever owned, while working at an animal shelter. It was love at first sight, and Gunther—who acts more like a dog than a cat—remains a constant reminder of why she chose this path.

At Breton Veterinary Hospital, Willow ensures that every animal in her care is treated like family. She takes pride in feeding, medicating, and comforting each pet, no matter their breed or temperament (yes, even the grumpy ones!). Being able to care for so many animals with different backgrounds gives her a deep sense of purpose and joy.

Outside of the clinic, Willow’s creativity shines through embroidery, painting, and a deep love for classic literature—Frankenstein being her favorite. She’s also a leader in the SAGE club at CSM and has a knack for working with exotic animals, having handled everything from 20-pound pythons to hand-sized spiders.

Willow shares her home with a quirky crew: Gunther the cat, Brunhilde the laid-back frog, and Baby Dragon, an energetic gecko who loves to bob and weave. Her life is as colorful as her interests, and her dedication to animal care makes her a vital part of the Breton team.
