Kaitlyn joined our team in November 2024 as a Veterinary Technician Assistant, and we’ve been lucky to have her ever since! She’s currently hitting the books at Penn Foster Veterinary Technician School and working toward her goal of becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT).
Kaitlyn has been smooth sailing through her training with us, quickly becoming a valued part of our crew. Her love for animals, positive attitude, and eagerness to learn make her a perfect fit for our clinic family. We can’t wait to watch her grow in her career and continue making tails wag and hearts happy!
Alia Mazzatosta, a Penn State graduate and current VMD student at Pennvet, loves spending time with animals every day and making a tangible difference in their quality of life. Her aspiration is to finish vet school and start practicing as a veterinarian. Outside of her studies and work, Alia enjoys hiking, camping, reading, going to the gym, and hanging out with her cat, Bints.
Mia joined Back Mountain Vet right after Thanksgiving 2022. She comes with a degree in Pre-Vet Animal Science from Auburn University. Mia has a great love for all animals, but horses are her true passion. Her keen interest in Equine Sports Medicine enabled her to complete an internship with
KESMARC for equine rehab. Mia enjoys getting to work with the variety of species we see here and is learning a lot about treating a wide range of health conditions every day. She has discovered that she finds respiratory and infectious disease treatment especially interesting. Mia hopes to take all of the knowledge she gains during her work here with her when she applies to Veterinary School. Her goal is to do a Residency in Equine Sports Medicine. It comes as no surprise then that horseback riding with her Oldenburg, Dottie or her Quarter Horse, Cash is how Mia likes to spend her free time. However, Mia is no “one trick pony,” so she also enjoys baking, cooking, and hanging out with her cat Figaro and her dog, Elle.
