Meet Suvi, one of our amazing Clinical Development Managers at Blue River PetCare! From joining BRP as a Practice Manager in 2018, growing her career on our Regional Operations team, to now being a member of the Clinical Development team, it’s safe to say Suvi is a big part of the Blue River family. On a constant quest for knowledge, Suvi obtained her Doctor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and now shares her wealth of experience with clinical teams across the country through training opportunities and educational programs. She’s also a certified yoga instructor, who can often be found hosting wellness sessions for the entire BRP team. In her free time, Suvi loves to spend her free time outdoors and with animals as much as possible!

“It’s fair to say that I grew up in the world of veterinary medicine. My father is a retired DVM and former practice owner, and our hospital played a central role in my family’s life. I joined Blue River in 2018 as a Practice Manager when we sold our practice and then joined the corporate team in 2019.

I’m proud of the level of commitment, care, and support that I’ve given the Practice Leaders that I’ve worked with here at BRP over the years. In this new role, I feel even better equipped to blend my academic background with my veterinary one to help the people whose work I so appreciate and admire. I am happy to have recently moved into this new role with Clinical Development, and I look forward to continuing to support our hospital teams in a new capacity. I love that I am able to support the work of so many wonderful veterinarians and their teams!"

Meet the one and only Amy (commonly known as Amy J), our Director of Project Management! While she may currently be the head of our Events and Project Management initiatives, Amy was the very first team member to join Blue River PetCare family after the company was founded in 2009. Since then, Amy has worn many hats and has played a huge part in the success and growth of the BRP community. While you can find Amy supporting a bit of everything going on at BRP, she is most famous for being the mastermind behind our largest (and most anticipated) event of the year, the BRP Annual Conference!

“Over the last 10+ years, I have had an opportunity to be involved in nearly every aspect of Blue River as we have grown. It’s great to see the company grow as new practices join the Blue River family and also as the corporate team grows to provide better support and opportunities for growth to our practices.”

Meet Brian, our Payroll Manager! For the past five years, Brian has grown with Blue River by working diligently in every position within his department to gain a deep understanding of our payroll processes and procedures. Now, he leads an impressive team of his own from Hawaii! Brian's favorite part of working at Blue River PetCare is being able to work with people from different backgrounds and experiences. Outside of his professional life, Brian is a devoted pet parent to two rescued greyhounds and cats. He also spends as much time as he can outdoors and has picked up quite a few hobbies like hiking and surfing! We're extremely grateful for Brian's contributions to the BRP community and are honored to have him on our team.

“My experiences have shaped me to be open to new perspectives and opinions. I've learned that there's always room for growth and learning from others with diverse backgrounds. This mindset has been instrumental in my career, helping me adapt and thrive in various roles. Embracing diversity has enriched both my professional and personal life.”

Meet Rebecca (or Becca as we like to call her), our Field Marketing Manager!

Becca has always been passionate about pet welfare, and joining the team at Blue River PetCare has helped her combine her passion with her career. Since joining the team two years ago as a Field Marketing Specialist, Becca has grown immensely in her career and now leads the Field Marketing team as they support our practices across the country in local-level marketing endeavors. When she’s not focused on marketing, she also helps foster connection across the corporate team by serving on BRP’s Culture Committee!

“It was always a goal of mine to work in an animal-focused industry and I was thrilled to start that at Blue River. In my first role here, I spent most of my days talking to Practice Managers at our hospitals, which was always a rewarding experience. I learned so much about the veterinary industry through them and now, as my position has changed, I’ve gotten to collaborate with more internal team members which has been equally as rewarding.”

On her days off, you’ll most likely find Becca volunteering at her local animal rescue, spending time with her pup, Kiwi, or reading a book recommended by the BRP Book Club. We’re so proud to have Becca as a member of our team and love to see her continued growth at Blue River PetCare!

Carrie joined our team in 2021 after spending over 20 years managing Pitts Veterinary Hospital in Nebraska. During her time as a Practice Manager, Carrie achieved Level 2 Fear Free certification, became a Hill’s Veterinary Nutritional Advocate, completed AAHA’s Veterinary Management School, and guided her team through five AAHA accreditations—a true testament to her expertise!  

Carrie supports practices nationwide in her current role, working closely with practice leaders to develop strategies that enhance operations and strengthen their teams. She also leads network initiatives aimed at improving client communications and clinic processes.  

“Having spent over 20 years in the daily operations of a busy veterinary hospital, I closely relate to the challenges our clinics face. I take great pride in the bonds I’ve formed with Practice Managers and Medical Directors, encouraging clinics to follow their passions and strive for excellence in patient and client care. My greatest achievement will always be these relationships and the impact we make together.” 

In her free time, Carrie enjoys hiking, practicing yoga, and traveling. She loves spending time with her husband, two children, and three dogs, who she actively competes with in agility trials. We’re so grateful to have Carrie in the BRP community and admire her dedication to supporting our practices and team members!
