Corri has been working for Thompson’s Veterinary Center since June 2012. Dr. Carol and Brian met her when she was working as a server at a local restaurant. Her ability to get Dr. Carol’s special orders correct and her kind nature led the Thompson’s to ask her to join the team here at TVC. Corri has always loved animals and enjoys being able to help those fur babies who come through our doors. She has excelled at developing her Fear Free skills and is now using those to help not only with her technician duties, but also her manager duties. Corri is married to Matt and has 2 children.
