Mary Jette

Mary's interest in animals brought her to the Medical Institue of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN after graduating from Pacelli High School in Austin, MN. Once the first veterinary technician class started she knew that this was what she really wanted to do.

After completing the course she did a 3 month internship here at Quarry Hill Park Animal Hospital. Dr. Gary Noser then hired Mary as the first veterinary technician for the hospital. Mary says that even after all these years this is still what she really wants to do.

Other interests that Mary enjoys are spending time with friends and family, working in her flower garden, canoeing, outdoor concerts and snowmobiling-especially in the Ely, MN area. Her cats Stuart and Miles keep her entertained daily with their antics.

Tammy Gatzke

I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Waseca in 1992 with an A.A.S. degree in Veterinary Technology. I joined the staff at Quarry Hill Park Animal Hospital in March of 1995, and have been enjoying all aspects of my job ever since. Everyday is different and brings on new challenges and learning experiences.

Erin Reynolds

I always loved animals growing up but it wasn't until I worked at a veterinary clinic during high school that I decided to go to college to become a veterinary technician.. I graduated from Ridgewater college in 2000 and joined the Quarry Hill team shortly after.

My husband and I share our house with 2 frogs, a fish and 4 cats. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, crocheting, pet sitting and being outdoors.

Amy Stern

I was born and raised in Rochester and I have had pets all my life. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to do something with animals. I started training service dogs when I was a freshman in high school. I went on to college at North Dakota State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Technology in 2001 and joined the Quarry Hill staff in May of 2001.

I love working with all animals and their owners on a daily basis. I have an interest in animal behavior and have started up puppy classes here at Quarry Hill. I enjoy watching all the puppies change and grow as they come into the clinic. My husband and I live in the country with our 2 kids and several animals. I love spending time with my family out in the country, going camping and horseback riding in my free time. I also enjoy showing and training my dogs in confirmation, obedience and agility.

Rachel Erickson

Rachel Erickson joined the hospital in April 2007. She got her degree from the Minnesota School of Business in Plymouth, MN. She grew up in a “tech-savvy” house and is the unofficial go-to person for minor computer issues in the hospital. Her favorite activities include reading, strategy board games, video games, surfing the internet, and spending time with family and friends. During the lunch hour, Rachel can usually be found reading her current tome in the break room. She has lived in Rochester since June 2006, and lives with her husband Adam, three cats (Tucker, Libby, and Carter), and dog (Jonas).

Gina Nevin

I grew up in Oronoco Minnesota and went to school in Pine Island. Once I graduated I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I attended RCTC for Veterinary Assistant schooling and did my internship here at Quarry Hill Park Animal Hospital in May 2007. I left for a few months and returned back in December 2007 as a permanent part of the team!

I love my job and all the people I work with. I have learned a lot from each and every person and pet. My job is full of joy and hardships, making each day different and exciting. I still live in Oronoco with my boyfriend, our beautiful daughter and our two pets; Puma, a Black Lab / Dalmation mix, and our puppy Deja. I enjoy learning more about dog behavior, being a full time mother, trying different kinds of food and spending time outside with friends and family. At some point in my life I would like to start up my own boarding kennel and own a few French Bulldogs.
