PRACTICE MANAGEMENT
Delaney
Delaney originally joined Sunrise Veterinary Clinic in 2012. Her favorite part about working here has always been building relationships with our valued clients; their furry, scaled and feathered companions are just a bonus! Delaney has been the Practice/General Manager since 2020. Her passions are business financials, marketing, human resources & client care management. She is completing her CVPM (Certification of Veterinary Practice Management) through the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association.
When not in the clinic, she is camping, hiking, or travelling the world. Delaney shares her home with her husband, her rescue dachshund/lab mix named Philly, and her two beloved cats that she has collected from the clinic; Parmesan and Pogo (he was renamed Pogo when he was surrendered to the clinic and we amputated his broken leg!)
Tanya
An essential part of the Sunrise family since 2011, Tanya LOVES helping pets and their families live happier, healthier lives — and it shows! Her strong, sensitive leadership keeps our team running smoothly. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Tanya spending time with her family and their chocolate lab, Nootka.
VETERINARY NURSING STAFF
Brianna
Brianna is an Animal Health Technologist Student, and part of the Sunrise Veterinary Clinic Mentorship Program. Brianna first obtained a university degree in natural sciences, but was inspired to pursue change when she lived in Mexico for several years and witnessed first-hand how animals suffer when not given adequate medical attention. The most rewarding aspects of her job are seeing the relationships that clients have with their pets and providing them with the best possible care. She shares her home with Amigo, Bonita and Murphy (Mexican rescue dogs), a crazy cat called Tina, and a husband who tolerates them all.
Hannah
Hannah is the jack of all trades here at the clinic! She works here in an assortment of crucial roles - veterinary assistant, social media manager and head of PR.
She had dreamt of working in a veterinary clinic her whole life. She’s always had a special place in her heart for all of our feline friends especially. Hannah completed her Animal Care Aide course in 2016 and from there specialized in dog training for 3 years until eventually finding her home here at Sunrise.
Currently, she has one canine companion named Georgia and a cat named Reign. She hopes to broaden her education in animal behavior and graphic design in the near future and has a side hobby of photography, videography, and making videos on YouTube.
Ella is our receptionist, and anyone in her presence can see her warmth and gentle ways! She knew when she was a little girl working in the animal health field was what she wanted to do. Her mother has worked at veterinary clinics as long as she can remember and she always loved the idea of one day doing it herself. She will be starting her Animal Care Aide course this year and hopes to pursue a career in the veterinary field as either a technician or veterinarian.
She has a puppy named Razzle and a cat named Ted. Her hobbies outside of work are fitness and rugby.
Her favourite part of working at Sunrise is getting to see everyone’s adorable companions and the passion in the workplace.
