Tyler has always loved animals; she can boast to being a pet parent to dogs, fish, hamsters, cats and a chameleon. 

Tyler grew up riding horses in her hometown near London, Ontario. Her equestrian adventures meant travelling far and wide, including a ride through the Arizona desert.   

Pursuing a career in the veterinary field would seem like a natural fit for Tyler, however she had other plans in mind. At least, when she was starting out. 

Tyler’s post-secondary education began with her obtaining an advanced Diploma in Business Administration and Management. After entering the workforce, though, she still found herself drawn to the world of veterinary medicine. Despite her ongoing commitment to leverage connections in the business world to provide financial support through donations to support local Humane Societies, Tyler knew she wanted to be more involved. 

Working outside of the veterinary industry, Tyler earned her RVT designation and began the next stage of her life as a vet tech. She worked in many clinics, but it was in an emergency clinic where she felt she was most fulfilled as she had the opportunity to care for so many different species including rabbits, reptiles and ferrets. Wanting to combine her education and experience, she left clinic life and joined McCarthy Veterinary Supplies. 

Outside of work, Tyler is the proud mom of two busy little boys but still finds time to care for her 17 year old Maltese, Muffin.
