Andrea is a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 25 years of clinical experience and Co-Founder of Nelson Veterinary.  She earned her A.A.S. in Veterinary Science from State University of New York, Delhi and her B.S. in Animal Science from Cornell University.  After taking a seven-year hiatus from veterinary medicine to manage a family law practice and study for the Vermont Bar, Andrea never lost sight of her ultimate goal in life: owning and operating a veterinary hospital. The skills she gained in law and business have become invaluable in running a thriving clinic. She now splits her time in the clinic between providing nursing care, practice management and problem solving. She has a special interest in diagnostic imaging and dentistry. When she is not in the clinic you will find her tucked deep in the maple woods with her husband, three children and two Giant Schnauzers. Fun facts about Andrea: she is a former national champion cyclist, loves board sports and has a knack for making us laugh.
