Employee Spotlight


Welcome to our new and improved Blog. Here, we plan to blog about all things veterinary, from training to medicine to heartwarming pet stuff to behind-the-scenes at the hospital. And for our first post, we're going to introduce our Employee Spotlight, and highlight one of our amazing employees each month. 



Say hello to Alicia! 


Alicia has been a veterinary technician here at Somerset Veterinary Group since May of 2012. Prior to coming to SVG, she worked as a technician in Fanwood alongside Dr. Feeney, and in fact followed Dr. Feeney here to SVG. A typical day for Alicia consists of assisting the veterinarians, caring for the hospitalized patients (giving them warm blankets, yummy treats and hugs and kisses), and filling prescriptions in the pharmacy. What she loves most about working for SVG is how everyone works together as a team and everyone really cares about each other and about doing their jobs well.

When she's not at work, she's home taking care of her furry children - Max the terrier, Oscar and Madison the chihuahuas and Martini the cat - and her human children too :) And if she has a spare moment, you might find her exercising, reading, scrapbooking, or shopping.  

We caught up with her and asked her a few silly questions. Read on to see her answers.

1-What three items would you bring with you if you were stranded on an island?
    A book (James Patterson or Janet Evanovich), my iPad and sunscreen

2- What are your top three favorite movies of all time?
     Clueless, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Finding Nemo (did we mention she has little kids?!)

3- Favorite TV show?
    Friends (even though it's no longer on) and Big Bang Theory, a very close second

4- Where would you go on a "dream" vacation?
    Fiji, I have heard that it's amazing

5- If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be?
    A mixed breed dog

6- If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
    Being invisible

7- Biggest pet peeve?
    Dirty laundry being thrown next to the hamper, not in it.
