I count it a great privilege to work and live in the hills of Eastern Ky. I was born and raised in Morgan Co. My kindergarten class visited Dr. Holbrook's clinic in 1977. He fed us and gave us a tour including Layla the Cougar for those of you old enough to remember. This must have made quite an impression! I joined the WLVC in 1998 and have been blessed to serve so many wonderful people and the animals that make up their families and herds. I have a wonderful wife, Cindi, and three lovely children, Lindsey, Emma, and Laynee. I have five dogs, a few horses and a small herd of cattle

Being a veterinarian has been my dream since I was in 7th grade. I graduated from Magoffin County High School in 1993. From there, I received an undergraduate degree from Morehead State University. I completed requirements for the entrance to veterinary school at the University of Kentucky. I graduated from Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama in 2004. Devoting such time to education was a privilege in order to allow me to serve the people and animals of Eastern Kentucky. My loving wife Amber, is a teacher at Wrigley Elementary here in Morgan County. We have three sons, Cole, Caleb, and Kasyn.

Being a veterinarian is the greatest job on Earth, and I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful profession. I was raised in Red Bush, KY, and I graduated from Johnson Central High School in 1996. From there, I went to Morehead State University to study biology and chemistry. In college, I worked at WLVC with Drs. Holbrook and Fugate, and that made me decide to go to veterinary school. I graduated from Auburn University in 2006 and came back to WLVC to practice. I have two great kids, McKenzie and Mason. Our furry family includes several dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep. God has blessed my life, and I pray that I can serve Him by serving you and your pets.

I grew up on a farm in Johnson County and wanted to become a veterinarian from a very early age. I graduated from Johnson Central High School in 2002 and then went on to Pikeville College where I received a B.S. in Biology in 2006. Also in 2006, I relocated to the lovely Auburn, AL for veterinary school (WAR EAGLE!). I graduated from Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2010, then began working at W.L.V.C. in July. I am a Christian and I love the outdoors and spending time with my family. I have a mutt dog named Madylyn Mae and we have cattle on our family farm.

I was born and raised in Manchester, Ky. I graduated from Manchester Christian Academy in 2007. I then attended Eastern Kentucky University for four years, before going to veterinary school at Auburn University. I grew up showing horses and spending my spare time with companion animals. I have always wanted to be a veterinarian, especially in an under-serviced, rural area. I have a supportive husband, Shannon, and two loyal companions, Tootsie and Alfie. Since I've been out of school in 2016, I have worked at the W.LV.C. I love every day I spend at the clinic or on farm calls and look forward to many years of servicing our clients and their animals.

Veterinary medicine has been a passion of mine for a long time. Growing up, my pets were my best friends and confidants, so it was no surprise that as I got older my desire to become a veterinarian blossomed. I know firsthand how important the bond between people and their pets was, and I wanted to nurture and protect that bond. I started job shadowing at WLVC’s Jackson satellite clinic during high school and immediately fell in love with vetmed. I graduated from Breathitt County High School in 2014 and then Morehead State University in 2018 before moving to Auburn, AL for veterinary school. I graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2022 (WAR EAGLE!) and moved back home to Jackson, KY where I currently live with my husband, James Strong, and our 3 dogs Mae, Rosie, and Snow. I am so grateful to be home and to be a part of this profession.

I look forward to serving my community and making a difference in the lives of my patients and the people who love them.
