Katelynn L.
You may see Katelynn anywhere in the clinic-whether it’s greeting clients at the front desk, taking histories in rooms, assisting in surgery, or helping care for hospitalized patients-all while keeping up with her manager duties. Talk about a superstar!
At home, Katelynn is just as busy with her 11 fur babies (5dogs-including a Great Dane, 3 Pitties, and a Belgian Malinois; and 6 cats!). And if that’s not impressive enough, she’s also a first-time human mama to a beautiful baby girl who just turned 15 months.

Outside of veterinary medicine, I played softball throughout most of my life, including one year at the collegiate level. At home, I have three Labrador Retrievers—one of each color! In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, building LEGO sets, and spending time at the theme parks with my friends and family.
A fun fact about me: before my veterinary career, I was a Disney Cast Member for seven years!
Brooke
Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of working in the veterinary field because of my lifelong love and passion for animals. I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and building a career where I can help both pets and the people who love them.
Outside of work, I enjoy gardening and spending quality time with my family and friends. I also have a Border Collie named Willow, who is a huge part of my life and has only strengthened my love for animals and my passion for their care.

I knew I wanted a career where I could advocate for pets and be there to help them and their families, especially on some of their hardest days.

Katelynn L.
Katelynn has been in the veterinary field for over 12 years and has worn just about every hat there is-receptionist, kennel tech, veterinary technician, surgery technician, and manager. Because she’s experienced so many roles, she truly understands how important each one is to keep our hospital thriving.
