Misty

With over 18 years of dedicated service at our clinic and 7 years as a licensed veterinary technician, Misty brings both experience and heart to every patient interaction. Her passion for animal care began early at just seven years old. She declared to her parents that she would work with animals, and she’s never looked back.
Last year, Misty embraced a new role as our office manager, where she now combines her deep understanding of veterinary care with a passion for creating a supportive, efficient environment for both staff and clients. Her commitment to excellence, compassion, and teamwork continues to shape the heart of our clinic.
When not at work, Misty is at home with her family, which also includes her dogs and cat. Misty loves being involved in agility and barn hunt with her dogs.
