Linda loves to spend time with her sons and grandchildren and is an avid crafter. During her free time, you would likely find her at her craft desk learning new techniques and happily creating.
Angelina Milinazzo
Assistant Bookkeeper/Notary Public
A New England native, Angelina has been surrounded by pets all of her life. She fell into the animal care world when she took a job after high school at a kennel in a local hospital owned by Dr. McGrath. While working at the hospital, a job she loved, she worked in various departments and enjoyed the ability to experience all aspects of the animal care world. A move to the South Shore led to work in the human side of healthcare with an amazing doctor and patients at a neuropsychiatry office. Her time here included learning about document imaging and storing and the experience opened the doors that lead to her career in documentation software. A chance conversation in early 2020 led to the opportunity to work for Dr. McGrath once again and the return and reconnection with former coworkers that had become friends many years before. Angelina enjoys working with practices and vendors during the onboarding of new hospitals joining the network, helping Practice Managers however she can, and working to integrate new technologies to help streamline finances and processes.
Angelina lives in Southern New Hampshire with her boyfriend and their rescue pups, but you can find her crafting, cooking, and baking for families and parties, and enjoying the woods of Maine whenever a getaway is possible.
Ann Hefner
Assistant Bookkeepers
Ann is one of our Assistant Bookkeepers. She began working in the veterinary world as a receptionist in 2002 before starting a family. After being a stay-at-home mom for a few years Ann went back to work as a receptionist at a local animal hospital owned by Dr. McGrath. In 2012 she made the move into the accounting department as Bookkeeping Assistant and later as an Account Payable Specialist.
She lives locally with her husband, Ken (NEVP’s Regional IT Manager) and their son Max as well as their two rescue kitties. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family as well as trying her hand at different craft projects.
