Heather Alflen, LVT
(Licensed Veterinary Technician)

Hi, my name is Heather and I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I graduated from Baker College of Flint in June of 2004 with an associates degree in Applied Science. In July 2005 I moved to Howell from Garden City to live on my little farm that I call home. I currently house three horses, a Saddlebred named Stet, an Arabian named Dancer and a mini named Peanut. The farm also has two dogs – an English Mastiff named Lilly and a Great Dane called Oscar. My final pets are two cats (TJ & Prince William). The final resident at our farm is my Husband Joe, whom I have been married to since September 9, 2006. In my spare time, my hobbies are riding my horses, caring for my pets and shopping.

Travis Otremba
(Technical Assistant)

Hi there, I’m Travis. Currently I attend school at Michigan State University. I am studying for a Bachelors of Animal Science degree and plan to apply to MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. My life long dream is to be an equine practitioner with a specialization in reproduction.

As an avid equestrian and animal lover, I have three horses; Lyndie, Princess and my new colt Aedan. As well, I have a beautiful cat named Calie. All of my animals mean the world to me, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of the fantastic team at Kern Road!

Megan Urka
(Technical Assistant)

Hi! I'm Megan. I graduated from Fowlerville High School in 1995 and have been a Fowlerville resident since 1988. I have lived on a horse farm most of my life and have a great love for all animals. I am excited to be a part of the team and look forward to meeting and working with all of our clients. When not at work I enjoy taking care of my home, gardening, spending time with my husband Chuck and my three cats, Monkey, BeeBee, and LD.

Michelle Killackey
(Technical Assistant)

I graduated from MSU with a bachelor's degree in Animal Science in May 2007. My husband Mike and I recently moved to Fowlerville from our home town of West Branch where we grew up. Our four legged family consists of two dogs - Maverick & Mikado and two Appaloosa horses - Brandy and Jazz. Spare time is spent scrapbooking, reading and we enjoy camping in the summer. I am excited to be part of Kern Road's veterinary team and meeting new people and their pets.
