(Inventory Manager) I've been working at Walnut Grove Animal Hospital since May 2016. Animals have always been my heart and soul!

Throughout my life I have had a variety of pets, such as, dogs, cats, goats, reptiles & fish. I can honestly say there was never a dull moment. They have brought me, and bring me so much joy. I love animals, so getting to work with them is a dream come true.

I have worked at WGAH for a few months now. I have always loved animals, and now I get to work with animals. Just knowing that we do all we can to keep your pets healthy makes every part of this job worth it. I'm currently in school at Georgia Gwinnett. And when I'm not working or in school I'm traveling to different countries. I currently have two dogs named, Dobby & Layla, and a hamster named Coco.

I started working here at WGAH in May of 2023. I absolutely love my job here and I hope to grow my career within this field. I am currently attending classes at Athens Technical College working toward becoming a Veterinary Technician. I've always felt like my calling was to help animals. I've had to rehabilitate a few of my ducks when they got injured and it's such a heartfelt and rewarding experience to see them recover.
