Sue Miller, CVT

Sue comes to Angell at Essex with over two decades of veterinary experience. She has worked in high-volume spay-neuter settings, general practice and shelter settings, and anesthesia/surgery referral hospitals. She has a bachelor’s degree in Biology and obtained her certified veterinary technician license in 2004. She has always loved training new technicians and sharing her knowledge with students. Angell at Essex has allowed her to bridge the gap between doing the job she loves, taking care of animals, and helping to teach the next generation of veterinary professionals.

When not at work, Sue loves spending time with her husband and daughter, dog Scout, cat Butter and two rats, Splinter and Chisel. And if there’s any time left in her day, you can find her working at her community garden.
