Hi my name is Samantha Eastman, I grew up in a small farm town in Massachusetts where I first fell in love with animals. I raised my own cattle, pigs, chickens and sheep where I showed them in 4H until I was 15. When I turned 15 I moved to Maine where I lived until I turned 25. I then moved to Vermont and started to further my career in animal medicine. I began working as a technician assistant for a small mixed practice clinic and worked there for 4 years. I stayed residing in Vermont where I live with my now husband, our two dogs, a German Shorthair Pointer named Ari-Lynn and a Running Walker Hound named Boone Daniel plus our cat Ava Lee. My husband, fur children and I live for the outdoors and that’s where you can find us any season! We love visiting our vacation home in Kentucky any chance we get to hunt and fish with our family as one of our major hobbies. In my free time I enjoy hiking, skiing, and cooking, but mostly I just enjoy time with my fur babies! I am excited to be here at Hanover Vet Clinic to help and nurture all your fur children!

Wendy Nelson graduated from Hartford High School in 1986, and from VTC in 1988, and has a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Science for Veterinary Technician. She has been working locally in the veterinary field as an office manager, head technician, and groomer since graduation. She joins the HVC staff in August of 2015 bringing all those years of experience with her. She grew up locally in West Hartford Vermont and still lives there today with her husband Carl, daughter Amanda, and a cat and two dogs. She and her family live “off-grid” and find that to be a daily challenge. Her hobbies used to include archery, following her daughter’s ice hockey career, and a good glass of wine. She now busy being Practice Manager again at Hanover Veterinary and help keep the homestead going where she can.

Mary returned to the Hanover Veterinary Clinic in February 2014. This is my 41st year as a Veterinary Technician and my 9th year as a Veterinary Receptionist. I have seen a lot of changes in the years and am happy to be working with the HVC group again. We are very dedicated to serving our fur friends and their families. Mary graduated from UNH with an associate degree in Animal Science and is a member of the Vermont Veterinary Technician Association. When I am not working I enjoy walking my Standard Poodle, biking, gardening, cooking, and cross country skiing.

My name is Samantha DiBattisto, and I was born and raised in Connecticut. I moved to New Hampshire to be with my boyfriend at the time, back in the summer of 2019, who is now my husband. I have been in the Veterinary field as a Technician since 2014. Since I was a child, I have had a passion for animals and always had a canine companion since I was two years old. Right now, we have two Brussels Griffon named Rufus and Phoebe. If you have ever seen Star Wars, they look like little Ewoks.

I have my certificate in Veterinary Assisting and my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. After finishing my schooling, another passion I have is the environment. I have learned that every single living thing in the environment is sacred for our survival, which is why my love for animals and the environment has grown on me so much. Furthermore, those passions have made me come to the conclusion that I want to be a Game Warden officer. Well, I hope you have enjoyed reading a little about me and if you wish to know more feel free to ask.

Hi, there my name is Tori, I am originally from southern Maine. I went to Fryeburg Academy high school and graduated in 2016. I moved to Vermont to start school at Vermont Technical College, there I studied Equine Studies and graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Equine Science in 2019. I then started working at Pirouette horse farm in Norwich where I managed a 22-stall stable on the weekends and gardened during the summer. I just started at Hanover Vet Clinic a few months ago and it’s been going great, lots of furry friends and clients to meet and see. I just recently rescued a puppy from down south. His name is Boe, he is 13wks and his breed is a German Shepard/Tree Walker Coon mix. I also have a bearded dragon at home I’ve had him for 5 years now and his name is Rango. When I’m not working my hobbies are drawing, riding horses and being outdoors with family and friends, and of course, playing with a new puppy.

Hi, my name is Taylor! I’m a born and raised Vermonter. I grew up in Hartford, VT and I graduated from The University of Vermont with my Bachelor of Science in Animal Science, Pre-Vet in 2020. I have always had a passion for animals. My dream ever since I was a little girl is to go to vet school to become a veterinarian. Prior to working in the field of veterinary medicine, I worked with dairy cows and even a little bit with horses! I have a kitten named Remington. Some fun facts about me and what I like to do for fun are, cows are my favorite animal, I love running and hiking, music is my favorite pastime, and I hunt/fish.
