Darolyn
Darolyn grew up on a farm in Northern Hampshire surrounded by the
things she is most passionate about – animals – horses,
cats, dogs, sheep, chickens and the occasional pig. Her first job
was milking cows on a Holstein farm and by the time she took her
first biology class she was hooked on animals husbandry.
At the age of 20 she moved to Fort Collins, Colorado. There she
attended Colorado State University and earned a Bachelor of Science,
majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Zoology.
Darolyn has worked as a veterinary technician on and off since
1990, interspersed with working for the US Forest Service and
Montana, Fish Wildlife and Parks. However, she is always drawn
back to the field of veterinary medicine – which is how she
came to join the team at Skyline.
Her time away from work is spent with her husband and their growing
herd of horses, cats and dogs, and backpacking, riding and exploring
Montana’s mountains.

Leann
I grew up in Fort Benton, MT and graduated from Fort Benton High
School in 2002. I went to Eastern Wyoming College and graduated
with an Associate of Applied Science degree in 2004. I came back
to Great Falls and worked for a few months before moving to Missoula,
MT. I came back about a year ago as I missed my family and small
town living. I moved back to Fort Benton with my 2-year old daughter
and our 1-year old cat. I have always had a love for animals as
I always made sure we had them at all times when I was growing up.
This is a love that I have passed on to my daughter. I also have
2 dogs that have lived with my parents since college. |
