She is also passionate about snorkeling, hiking, and traveling.
Denise Schnackenberg
Denise has lived in Vancouver for over thirty-five years and has enjoyed working in the veterinary field for over 15 of those. She is excited to reunite with Dr. Myers after working together previously for over 5 years.
She has cared for so many pets, and it has always been her goal and desire to treat all of them with kindness and affection.
Denise’s house is full of furry family members: Sage (DMH) who is 15yrs and her first 'foster' failure; Tess (Golden Doodle) is 7; Hawkeye and his 'freebee' brother Radar (Chinese Crested) they are almost 5 now.
Kenya Williams
Since she was a small child, Kenya has always cared for animals. She would tell anyone who listened that she wanted to work at the “animal doctor” or the zoo when she grew up.
After a few years in human nursing and medicine, Kenya completed a program in Veterinary Assisting and transitioned into the veterinary field in 2016. Currently, Kenya is in school working towards her Veterinary Technicians License.
Her passions in veterinary medicine nursing include anesthesia, dentistry, patient care and client education. In her free time Kenya enjoys being home with her family, including her two cats, Luna and Baby, and her dog Bentley.
Jori Wilson
Jori has been working in the veterinary field since 2017. She excels in dentistry and has very special interests in feline advocacy/wellness and feline medicine. As the lead nurse at Red Maple, Jori ensures that quality of patient care is amazing as she is.
Jori has three gorgeous cats: Margo, a beautiful medium-hair brown tabby; Sibyl, a goofy Ragdoll; and Camille, a sweet Scottish Fold.
Her personal interests include crochet and training Camille to do tricks. Camille currently knows how to sit, shake, touch, lay down, spin, sit pretty and more.
Brooke Shores
Brooke was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She knew from a young age her passion to work with animals, starting with volunteering at a local animal shelter. In 2017 she began working at a Portland veterinary hospital in the daycare and boarding department. From there she has become one of the welcoming faces of Red Maple, first as a receptionist and now as one of the nurses.
We are excited for Brooke as she has been accepted to the PCC program to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician.
She has two cats, a 7 year old gray tabby named Nala and a 2 year old tortie named Dani (aka Kitten). In her free time, she enjoys spending quality time with her family and friend or watching movies snuggled with her cats.
Heather Matson
Heather is the glue that holds Red Maple together. She wears many hats in the clinic with the years of expertise and experience in veterinary medicine, ranging from general and dentistry practice to emergency care. As the Red Maple lead receptionist and assistant practice manager, Heather focuses on the care of every signal individual that comes through the door - pet or human!
Her love for animals is endless, from her own household to the stray cats in her neighborhood who find a safe haven under her watchful care.

Cierra Wells
Cierra is currently off for her first year in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University. She has been dedicated and focused to becoming a veterinarian from a young age. We are so excited to watch her continue to grow and blossom at the alma matter of Dr. Myers! Go Cougs!
Keith Myers
RMAH’s practice manager is definitely a jack-of-all-trades. When he’s not helping his wife run the practice, he can be found playing with his kids, teaching science at HeLa high school, co-hosting a popular Seahawks podcast, turning wood on his lathe or fermenting tasty beverages.
As a complete newbie in veterinary medicine, Keith does his best to stay out of the way of the talented staff. He does manage to answer a phone occasionally though, as well as update this website.
Note: the picture is of Pythagorus, his 3-legged cat. That is not a picture of Keith.
