Clinical and Administrative Support Supervisor, Equine Medical Center

Nomination

It is with great enthusiasm that I nominate Sara Lundy for the Dean’s staff member of the month award. As the Clinical and Administrative Support Supervisor, Sara masterfully balances the demanding responsibilities of her administrative role with the high-stakes clinical duties of an LVT. Her dedication, skill, and passion shine through in every aspect of her work.

Sara plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and comfort of our equine patients during surgical procedures by expertly managing anesthesiology. Her calm presence and technical precision make her an invaluable asset in the operating room, where she consistently provides exemplary care, while also teaching others the nuances of anesthesiology!

Beyond her clinical excellence, what truly sets Sara apart is her unwavering positivity and contagious enthusiasm. She brings energy, optimism, and a collaborative spirit to every team she’s part of, lifting those around her and creating a culture of support and excellence.

A passionate educator, Sara is deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of veterinary professionals. She teaches student groups from the Veterinary Technology program at Northern Virginia Community College’s Loudoun Campus, helping future Licensed Veterinary Technicians gain hands-on experience in general handling, surgical preparation, and anesthesia techniques. Through her mentorship, these aspiring professionals not only gain essential skills, but also inherit her deep respect and passion for equine care.

Sara Lundy is a role model, a leader, and a compassionate caregiver. Her impact is felt not just in the lives of the animals she treats, but also in the careers of the students she inspires and the colleagues she uplifts. For her tireless dedication and exceptional service, Sara is more than deserving of this recognition.
