Certified Veterinary Technician – Client Liason

Diane is a dedicated Certified Veterinary Technician at Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates, who brings a wealth of experience and passion for animal care to the practice. A native of Southern Oregon, Diane spent several years traveling across the United States due to military service before returning to settle in Eugene, where she has lived for the past nine years.

From a young age, Diane knew she wanted to work with animals, often bringing home pets to care for. She fulfilled this lifelong dream by attending the Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology in Denver, Colorado, where she honed her skills and deepened her understanding of veterinary care.

In addition to her professional commitments, Diane is an avid gardener and self-proclaimed “plant nerd.” She spends the winter months nurturing plants in her greenhouse and devotes her summers to outdoor gardening. Diane and her husband also share a love for travel and often hike along the coast. At home, she is accompanied by Maya, her six-year-old Husky who charmingly defies the stereotype by not barking.

Diane’s devotion to both her career and personal interests showcases her deep commitment to a life rooted in compassion, adventure, and a love for the natural world.
