Veterinary Assistants
Linda Laffond
Linda has been a member of the Gardner Animal Care Center since 2004. Prior to her coming to GACC, Linda worked as a Veterinary Technician at a domestic and wildlife clinic in Wickford, RI. She was also a boarding manager and veterinary assistant at a small animal hospital in Jacksonville, FL. Her compassion for animals is obvious to the owners and team members. A lot of her time is spent counseling our clients on the importance of healthy nutrition and weight management. Outside of the hospital, Linda spends much of her time outdoors biking, hiking, or enjoying road trips. She has a wonderful cat named Gypsy who was a rescue (as all of her pets are), as well as numerous chickens!
Diana Chunn
Diana started work at GACC in June 2005. She came from Lexington-Bedford Veterinary Hospital, where she worked for five years. She attended the Prince Georges Community College in Maryland, where she studied art, and the University of Arkansas, where she studied animal husbandry. Her husband was in the U.S. Air Force, and so she moved with her family about every three years. She's lived everywhere from Washington state to New Mexico to Florida and several states in between. She recently settled in Gardner with her husband and youngest son, who is a junior at Gardner High School. She has two older boys, both of whom serve in the U.S. Air Force. She has two cats: Flutakat and Kelly. In her spare time, she enjoys painting and horseback riding.
