Practice Manager LVT

I have a deep passion for animals and have been working in the animal industry for 11 years, my favorite being veterinary medicine. Before that, I was a junior dog handler showing English bull terriers. My favorite thing about working in a vet office is seeing an animal come back in for a recheck being all better from our efforts. I also run a reptile rescue called Ruby’s Reptile Rodeo and have volunteered at the Wild Bird Fund in NYC and Fresh Start Reptile Rescue in NC. As a child, I wanted to be a doctor, then changed paths to music, I started playing the piano at 3 years old, attended specialized schools for classical music, and aspired to be a concert pianist. My future career goal is to achieve my VTS in exotics or anesthesia, but more than likely exotics. I share my life with a diverse group of animals, including 9 dogs, 5 cats, birds, reptiles, and more. Outside of work, I enjoy building my sports car, playing with my many animals, gaming with my family, and playing the piano.

Lead Receptionist

I have 6 dogs: 3 Great Danes (Danester, Reign, and Haven), a White Shepherd (Luna), a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix (Care Bear, who is actually my daughter’s service dog), and a Chihuahua (Boogers). I have always had animals in my life, including rats, snakes, chinchillas, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, chickens, ducks, and goats. I originally worked for another veterinarian years ago, then went into retail service, and then was offered the opportunity to work with Dr. JAM and have been here for over a year now. My favorite thing about working in a veterinarian clinic is growing a bond with not only all the babies that come in but with their owners, and of course, all the stuff I learn. When I was growing up, animals were my passion. I wanted to first be a veterinarian, then a zookeeper, and finally a vet tech. My goal is to learn as much as I can and continue to grow, learning as many aspects of the clinic as I can. Outside of work, my hobby is my dogs; we are always out working and training. 

Customer Service Representative

Although I have recently started working in the animal industry, I am thrilled to be learning new things every day. I’ve always been a big animal lover and even dreamed of becoming a vet as a child. I currently have four dogs: two German Shepherd-Huskies, a Rat Terrier, and a Great Dane. While I love all animals, big dogs hold a special place in my heart. One of my favorite aspects of this job is meeting new people and creating meaningful connections.

Veterinary Assistant

I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. In the past, I’ve had snakes, lizards, frogs, and a tortoise. I’ve been working in the animal industry since October of 2023. My favorite thing about working here is being able to participate in a team; we flow like a sports team. When I was younger, I wanted to be a horror writer or write books about aquatic animals. My future career goals are to become an American Sign Language teacher. Outside of work, I enjoy longboard dancing and playing Magic: The Gathering. One skill I have is that I’m fluent in American Sign Language and I’m learning Spanish Sign Language.

Veterinary Assistant

Currently, I have 5 dogs: two working line German Shepherds named Paisley and Kimber, a Belgian Malinois named Vendetta, a French Bulldog named Henry, and a Cane Corso named Callie. I’ve been working in the animal industry for 4 years, and my favorite part of working in a vet office is working with animals and helping clients with their pets in times of need. As a child, I always wanted to be a veterinarian, and my future career goals include finishing tech school and possibly going to school to become a veterinarian. Outside of work, I enjoy training my dogs, off-roading, camping, and boating.
