From a team you can love.
Passionate. Dedicated. Talented. The team at Lytle Veterinary Clinic believes in making a difference in your life.
My name is Serina Torres, I have 3 beautiful girls and my fur baby Burrito whom I rescued while working at LVC.I have been living in the surrounding area for about 23 years and love that I get to call this area home. When I am not at work my daughters and I spend our time with extracurricular activities such as sports, outdoors, and doing various arts and crafts. My role here at LVC is CSR, but I like my clients/patients to think of me as a friend; My goal is to help, assist, be a shoulder to lean on in times of need, or lend an ear. Every day I look forward to coming to work and seeing what type of difference I can make even in the slightest way. Here at LVC we are Family and care for your babies with love and care. It’s true when they say every patient leaves a pawprint in our hearts.
As a small child, Karen Bujra helped with her family farm, raising chickens, rabbits, and cattle. She was also able to save a young pigeon that was being kicked in the road by middle school children and helped an injured dove regain flight. She learned how one person can really make a difference.
Born and Raised in San Antonio, Karen Burja moved to Devine Texas in 1996 where she finished her Sophomore and Senior years at Devine High school. Graduating in 1999 she met Dr. Tisha Broach at Jan Wilkerso’s home in Devine when Dr. Broach and Melissa came to Jan’s home to treat her dogs. During the visit, while Karen helped with the dogs, she asked about a ringworm treatment for her cats and set up an appointment for her cats with ringworm. The very next week during Karen’s appointment she filled out an application for employment at the Lytle Vet CLinic. After the new year, Karen was highered for a Kennel Technician job and worked everyday for the next 3 years in order to be able to help with surgeries and radiographs. To this day, she still works at the Lytle Vet clinic helping any way she can.
The primary values that drive Karen in her day to day life are her spiritual connection with God and following the path that has been set for her for the illumination of truth and the lessons along the way.
Her passions in life include helping people and animals regain health and happiness in their lives. Mostly she wishes the world was more open to healing on an energetic level.
Karen enjoys various hobbies such as gardening, winemaking, quilting, painting, drawing, reading,raising poultry, and attending classes to help heighten her skill in energy therapies. Above all Karen truly believes that energetic techniques and veterinary medicine can go hand in hand for true healing purposes.
Bio Coming Soon!
I have been working at the Lytle Veterinary Clinic since 2008. I started as a Customer Service Representative and in June of 2020, I transitioned to the back as Office Manager. I do miss the clients smiling faces at the front desk but am very excited about my new role in the back. Working here has been a great opportunity to combine my love of animals, people, and my career. As a full-time mother and pet owner, I try to utilize my ability to communicate and understand the client and patient needs with love and patience.
I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX and moved down to Lytle a little over a 3 years ago. I started my VetMed path back in 2017 while attending the veterinary technology program at Palo Alto college. I knew my whole life that I wanted to work with animals. Something about their presence always seemed to soothe my soul. It’s truly a blessing to be able to call my line of work a hobby. They say when you enjoy what you do, “you never work a day in your life.” There is nothing more fulfilling than learning something new each and everyday. I think what I enjoy most about my job is being able to communicate and educate clients about their beloved fur babies at home. Knowledge will always be key.
Howdy, everyone! My name is Joan Stapelfeldt. I was born and raised in Houston, TX until I moved to San Antonio area in very late 2020. I have worked in the veterinary field since June 2017 as a Kennel Tech and now a Vet Assistant. I have had animals most of my life, mainly dogs and cats but also horses where my passion lies. As a Vet Assistant, I enjoy helping out the Technicians in all kinds of ways whether big or small. My ultimate goal in my work, much less outside work life, is to be the bright spot in someone’s day of some kind of positivity. One particular thing special about me is I am simple yet want to be as efficient as possible. The education I have received is gaining my Associate of Arts Degree and Marketing Certificate at Lone Star College as well as completing the Vet Assistant program through Penn Foster.
When not at Lytle Vet, Joan can be found at home with her horse and dogs, outside taking pictures somewhere of animals or landscapes, on the computer listening to music or spending time with her fiancé Nathan Sweetman.
