Linda, LVT

Linda graduated from the University of Maine at Orono in 1977 with a two-year Veterinary Technician degree. She began her career working for Dr. Day in Damariscotta, where she got a lot of experience working with large animals, including horses, cows, goats and pigs. In 1981 she married and started her family, and has two daughters ages 23 and 25. Over the course of ten years, she worked with numerous area vets, including Dr. Yovino, and came to work for him when he bought Harbor Road in 1995. Linda is a lifelong resident of this area, and her home is the farm that once belonged to her uncle. At the farm, she has three horses that she raised, the oldest of which is 26. She also has a golden retriever and two cats. Her animals have an easy life - Linda works hard to support them! At Harbor Road, Linda is here for the animals and their people, many of whom she has known her whole life.
