Amy Williams receiving award

Amy Williams moved to Anguilla from Maine in 1992. Amy’s ultimate aspiration was to become a veterinarian. Two years after her arrival in Anguilla, she was offered the chance to help Dr. Vanterpool at Morlens Veterinary Clinic. Her dream was short-lived when she had to return to the States for a brief period of time.

Amy worked for two veterinary hospitals in the States and enrolled at St. Petersburg College in their veterinary technician program. Finally, she was given the chance to return to Anguilla, where she began again to work at Morlens Veterinary Hospital, fulfilling her dream of working with animals. In her years working in Anguilla, Amy has seen much positive change in the way people take care of their animals.

In September 2000, Amy became a Founding Member and a Trustee of the Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation (AARF). Presently, she continues to work at Morlens with Dr. Vanterpool, supporting the animals and helping to further educate the people of Anguilla in proper care of their domestic pets. Amy Williams has been honoured by the Rotary Club of Anguilla for her service to Anguilla.
