MEET THE TEAM
Corinne Last, DVM
VeterinarianI was raised and grew up east of South Porcupine. I attended St. Joseph’s School on Huot Street and finalized my high school years at RMSS (surprisingly, each of these schools are only a few blocks from the SPAH). In grade 2, I already knew that when I grew up, I was going to be a VETERINARIAN. I went to Laurentian University spending 4 years on a Biochemistry degree before being accepted into the prestigious Ontario Veterinary College in 1995. The five years spent at OVC was a life changing experience with great mentors and classmates; many of whom I stay in contact with to this day. Fast forward to June 2000: graduation and then the real world. In the beginning I separated out my time between 2 other local clinics for the first 6 months. After this time, I diversified my job with teaching Livestock medicine courses to local area farmers to educate them for better animal husbandry techniques with respect to medications.
Hello all! I am one of the newest additions to the South Porcupine Animal Hospital Team and couldn’t be more excited to meet you and your beloved furry, scaly or feathered friend! I was born and raised in Northern Ontario and pursued an undergraduate degree in Animal Biology at the University of Guelph in 2009. I completed three years of undergraduate study before being accepted to the Ontario Veterinary College. Four years of veterinary school came and went quickly! I was elected co-president of our class, volunteered for a birds of prey rehabilitation centre (Wild Ontario) as team lead with a stunning red-tailed hawk, and was actively involved in extra-curricular activities at the College.

Carla Mascioli, DVM
VeterinarianDr. Carla Mascioli graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2007 and returned to her hometown of Timmins to practice veterinary medicine. She enjoys working with cats, dogs and exotics (small mammals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters). Carla is interested in the variety that general practice has to offer from being in surgery, working up medical cases and routine annual vaccine appointments. Her personal interests include the outdoors, music and cooking.
I was born and raised in Timmins Ontario and grew up enjoying all that Northern Ontario had to offer. I’ve known from a young age that I wanted to be a veterinarian, and I’ve worked towards a career in veterinary medicine for as long as I can remember. From caring for my family pets, job shadowing at local clinics, to pet sitting for friends and family, I loved working with animals at any given opportunity. After my graduation from École Secondaire Catholique Thériault, I attended the University of Guelph where I completed my BSc. in Animal Biology.

Stacy Saudino
Registered Veterinary Technician - Practice ManagerI am a Timmins born girl with a wonderfully big and loving family. My love for animals started at a very young age and with this passion, I could not see myself going into any other career path. After graduating high school, I went to the Haileybury campus at Northern College. I graduated in 2006 and immediately obtained my registered veterinary technician status. Even before finishing the program, I secured a position with the South Porcupine Animal Hospital. During my spare time, I enjoy playing various sports, walking my Pug-Jack Russell cross dog named “Cali”, and spending time with my family and friends.
Hello! I graduated the Veterinary Technician program at Northern College in June 2023, and completed an additional program in Wildlife Rehabilitation, graduating as a Registered Veterinary Technologist in 2024.I grew up in Milton, Ontario and recently moved up here to Timmins! I have always wanted to move up north, and so far I’m absolutely loving it. I enjoy hiking, and I’ve loved exploring all of the trails here.At home, I have a cat named Cosmic Creepers, who I’ve had since college. In the practice, I love to see all types of animals – from cats and dogs, to birds and reptiles! I can’t wait to meet all of your amazing pets!

Kristin Bujold
Head Client Services RepresentativeBorn & raised in South Porcupine, I joined the SPAH team in 2016. I’ve always had a love for animals, having many fur babies of my own through the years. One of the best parts about my position is getting all the behind the desk visits & snuggles from our fur-friends.
When I’m not at work, you can find me at home with my husband, our two teenage daughters & our three dogs; Irie (7.5), Midehyah (6.5) & Santorini (1.5). There is never a dull moment!
