Welcome to Five Sisters Farms CVT Externship Program.

Here at the farm, you will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced mentors in a real world environment while gaining valuable experience in animal handling and restraint, veterinary care, and skillset. Our goal is to provide a supportive and professional learning environment that helps you grow in both confidence and technical skill as you continue your journey in the veterinary field.
About Five Sisters Farm
Born and raised in Roseburg, I knew that I wanted to go into veterinary medicine at a very young age. In 2014 I graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor’s. Degree in Pre-Vet Med and then went on to attend Portland Community College in 2016 where I earned my CVT degree. Once I graduated, I started working at Oregon State University in the Lois Bates Acheson Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Large Animal Surgery. There I found a true passion for teaching and mentorship and enjoyed working with the 4th year veterinary students. Returning to my hometown of Roseburg in 2020, I began working at a mixed animal practice and became Hospital Manager of that practice within a year. After growing to a 13-doctor practice with over seventy employees and open seven days a week, I decided that I wanted to go back to what made me fall in love with vet med; the animals and the students.
With six siblings, Five Sisters Farms was born when I wanted to create a business that could help my entire family. So, with my contribution being veterinary medicine, my sisters sell all their curated goods at our farmstand in Tenmile. Honey, soaps, lotion bars, teas, farm fresh eggs, and more! It’s a family affair and we are so happy to be able to share it with others!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting our page! I look forward to chatting with you soon!
