Voted as Colorado's Technician of the Year for 2024-2025. Jessica Sammons
This Corgi-loving gal helps keep things running smoothly at the front desk. She comes to BCVC with years of experience, so Jessica is a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help make everyone’s day a little bit brighter! When she isn’t working, Jess is loving on her Corgis or her chickens, quilting, or spending quality time with her family.
Sierra Nelson
Hello, I’m Sierra, I was raised in Delta Colorado on my family’s farm. I love spending time training horses and working with my golden retrievers. I have always dreamed of working at a veterinary clinic with animals. I am glad I found a clinic to work with that treats their employees like family.
Connie Childers
Hi, I’m Connie, a Colorado native who grew up in the Ridgway/Montrose area. I am married with two grown boys. I’m an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys fishing, four wheeling, and spending time with my horse. Working at BCVC is a perfect fit for me as I am an animal lover, and working as a receptionist I get to meet them all!
Jennifer, RVT
Hi, I’m Jennifer, and I have been a veterinary technician since graduating from
Colorado Mountain College in 2000. I am a Montrose native but spent 7 years in
Glenwood Springs and then 13 years in Hawaii before moving back in 2020. My
husband and I have two boys and two cats, who I love spending time with in my free
time.
Jacelen Ellis
Hi, I’m Jacelen, and I was born and raised right here in Montrose! I love spending
time with my family and dogs at our cabin in Little Cimarron. I have always dreamed
of working in the veterinary field since I was 5 years old, and I love working with the
animals and people at BCVC!
Guadalupe Garciadelacrus
Hello or Hola! My name is Guadalupe Garcia and I’ve been with the BCVC team for almost 2 years now. As a little girl I worked with animals with my dad not knowing that it would be what would inspire me to get my Associate’s to become a great vet tech. I love hiking, going to the gym, and spending time with my family. I am also bilingual so I’m able to help if there’s ever a language barrier. Come stop by!
Daniel
Hello, my name is Daniel, and I am a Surgical Assistant here at BCVC. Born In Russia, raised primarily in America, and moved to Colorado back in 2015. I enjoy working here with my colleagues and taking care of our patients. I have a dog named Leia that I love, and she brings me great joy. What brought me to work here was the fact that I would be working with animals and making a difference. I am an empathetic person who gives what I can to make someone smile and always do my best to stay positive. A few activities I enjoy are driving, hiking, hanging with friends, and listening to music.
Aly, RVT
Hello, I’m Aly! I recently moved to Delta from Colorado Springs, to be closer to my family. I graduated from Western State Colorado University in 2019. I have been in the veterinary field since 2018 and plan to continue learning and chase my dreams of being a veterinarian. In my free time I enjoy adventuring with my two dogs Eden and Enzo!

Olivia Ivy
Hi, I'm Olivia, city gal who took a road trip with her pup in Spring of 2024 and decided to call Montrose her current home. When I'm not at BCVC helping to take care of your fuzzy loved ones, I'm exploring the state, hanging with my own fur baby, or spending time with my family. I'm excited to get to know the community through serving its four-legged residents!
