Meet the StaffAndrea Tiede, LVTDale City Animal Hospital

Andrea Tiede worked her way from kennel assistant to veterinary technician at our Dale City hospital in just five years. She is truly a home grown success story.

Andrea was born in San Diego, California. However, her father was in the military, so she lived many places, including Hawaii and Las Vegas, before her family settled in our area six years ago.

While in high school, she began working at our hospital as a kennel assistant. She quickly mastered that position and began learning other skills. She enjoyed the work immensely, learned quickly, and was soon training as a veterinary assistant and a receptionist. She graduated from Hylton High School in 1999. Impressed with her hard work and potential, the hospital offered to send her to Northern Virginia Community College to become a licensed veterinary technician. Andrea completed the two-year program, including an internship at our other hospital at Gunston. She received an Associate Degree in Applied Science and is now a full fledged veterinary technician at our hospital.

We are proud to have Andrea as a member of our team at the hospital.
