Noelle Potter Rohland
Certified Veterinary Technician,
VTS-ECC
Noelle graduated from Harcum College in 2006 and became a CVT in 2007. She immediately took a special interest in critical care and anesthesia. In the years to come Noelle gained experience in several areas of veterinary medicine which included emergency, critical care, neurology and large and small animal anesthesia. In 2015 Noelle obtained her veterinary technician specialty (VTS) in emergency and critical care. During her VTS journey Noelle discovered her passion for teaching and training other veterinary professionals.
For the last 6 years, Noelle has assisted with labs at the International Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Symposium (IVECCS), has mentored technicians on their VTNE and VTS journey, and has become a RECOVER-certified veterinary CPR instructor.

Kenzie Swaney
Veterinary Assistant
Kenzie was born and raised in the Lower Keys. She attended Key West High School, graduating in 2013, and went on to attend Florida State University, where she majored in Anthropology. While in Tallahassee, Kenzie discovered her love for helping and serving animals through working in pet retail and volunteering with Black Cats and Old Dogs Animal Rescue, for which she currently serves on the board of directors. After returning to the Keys, she began her journey in veterinary medicine as a technician, receptionist, and eventually an assistant manager of a local animal hospital. Her experience in these roles helped her to develop key skills in many aspects of animal care and client education.
When she is not at work, Kenzie can most often be found training and spending time with her dogs, Charlie and Zeemo. Charlie is a Golden Retriever mix adopted in 2016 in Tallahassee, FL. She has earned multiple AKC trick and obedience titles and loves to learn new tricks and commands. Zeemo is a "foster fail" chihuahua mix, adopted from FKSPCA in 2021. He is working hard every day to overcome his fears and learn how to be a normal dog. Kenzie also enjoys kayak fishing, hiking, and taking care of her freshwater aquariums.
