Meet Our Staff

Amanda started as the Practice Manager at The Bluffs in 2023. She’s worked as a CVT in the veterinary field since 2006 and has experience in general practice, emergency and critical care, and specialty medicine. Her favorite part of the job is being able to advocate for her team members and the people and pets that walk through the door. She loves to travel and has lived and worked in Hawaii and North Carolina. Trips to the beach with her son and spending time with friends that have become family are her favorite things to do outside of work. She shares her home with two long haired felines and a golden retriever named Kevin. She also enjoys reading, doing puzzles, and is an avid plant mom. Her green thumb is what helped give birth to The Bluffs’ angel fund - “The Purple Heart”. Amanda’s plants are available to purchase at The Bluffs, and 100% of the money goes toward helping people in our community who may be financially struggling - it primarily helps those who would otherwise not be able to afford to bring the remains of their deceased fur babies home.

Dawn has worked at The Bluffs Pet Clinic since 2010. She has a Bachelor Degree in Biological Science from the University of Maryland, and an Associate Degree in Veterinary Technology from Argosy University. She lives in Cannon Falls on a farm with her 3 cats: Junior, Suzie, and Darla and her 3 sheep: Lily, Lola, and Wesley. She loves aquatics, especially sharks and hopes to be able to work with them one day.

Jenni joined The Bluffs in the middle of 2024, and she is the first smiling face you'll see when you walk in the door. Jenni has a degree in early childhood education, and she is currently attending school online to obtain her certificate in Veterinary Assisting - she hopes to eventually become a technician. Jenni has a passion for helping both people and animals - she enjoys making a positive impact in the community she lives in, making new friends, and making people smile. In her time off, she loves traveling to anywhere there is water, enjoys listening to good music, and delights in trying new foods. She lives with her partner, 3 kids, and 3 fur kids: Rocky - her rescue pup, Jack Sparrow - the kitty who saved her, and Elizabeth Turner - her barn cat turned forever little girl.

Katrina joined us in 2023 and has been in veterinary medicine for over 3 years. Her favorite part of working here at The Bluffs is being able to help the people and pets of her hometown. Outside of work, Katrina enjoys horseback riding, traveling, and hanging out with friends. She has 3 horses and shares her home with 3 cats and a dog.

Heather started at The Bluffs in 2023, but she’s worked in veterinary medicine for much longer. She always knew she wanted to work with animals and started when she was going to school to become a vet tech. She graduated from the Medical Institute of Minnesota in 2001 with an Associate of Applied Science degree and was a certified vet tech and worked in the field for 10 years before becoming a stay at home mom to her 3 boys, Isaac, Hunter, and Elliott. Outside of work, when she’s not helping to care for her parents, she loves gardening, reading books, swimming, and going for walks. She shares her home with her 14 year old dog, Caasi.

Amanda joined us in June of 2024. She graduated vet tech school in 2005 and moved to Red Wing in 2023. She comes to The Bluffs with about two decades of veterinary experience - both in general practice and laboratory medicine. Her favorite part of the job is monitoring surgery anesthesia and doing dental cleanings. She has three kids, and they share their home with a 14-year old leopard gecko, a 12-year old American Staffordshire Terrier named Juniper, two feline littermates Fish and Chips, and two lab mice named Junkin and Java.
