Our Staff

Almost two decades ago Corrie found herself in her first veterinary hospital as an employee at the Front Desk. She fell in love with the environment, the caring team of nurses and doctors, all the pet parents, and of course all the cute patients. She discovered her strengths lied in the desire to connect with the pet parents and to support the doctors and nurses. Corrie loved that she got to be a part of what made the day go well for everybody! Twelve years later she had risen to become Practice Manager and had the honor of opening the newest large emergency and specialty veterinary practice in the Boston area.

Corrie kept finding herself drawn to the general practice side of veterinary medicine and wanted to be a part of a team that was in her local community. It was that desire that brought her to Best Pets. Corrie was born and raised in Wilmington and now with her husband, they are raising their son. At home, she takes care of two rescue pets, Eddie, an old Russian Blue cat, Batman, a goofy Plott Hound, and a “few” fish. When she is not in the hospital with her team, she can be seen on the soccer field coaching her son’s team or leading a group of Cub Scouts. She spends time with her family in Maine, leaf-peeping in the fall, and skiing on the mountains in the winter.
