Your Pet's Best Friends
Tammy
Tammy, CVPM (Certified Veterinary Practice Manager)
I’m blissfully married with two grown children and three dogs. I have an associate’s degree in animal science and poultry and livestock technology. Plus, I have vast experience working as a veterinary assistant, receptionist, and now as a practice manager.
I’ve been part of the team at Willow Grove Animal Clinic since 2002, and I earned my CVPM certificate in November of 2023.
I entered this field because I’ve always enjoyed working with and helping animals and their owners. Being employed here for so long, I feel I’ve come to know our clients like family, and that makes me extremely happy.
The aspect I enjoy most about my work is building trustworthy relationships with everyone who comes in. Getting to know your pets and your family on a personal level is what makes us unique and helps us give the guidance and support you both need.
In my spare time, I enjoy hunting and fishing. I also love traveling with my family. In fact, one item on my bucket list is to visit Hawaii with my loved ones.
Emily
Emily – Veterinary Assistant
I’ve lived in Greenville, NC since starting middle school and look forward to starting a family here.
Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I am so glad they are a part of my daily life. I’m thankful and blessed to be able to say I am in a career that I love.
The best part of my job is building relationships with families and your furry companions. Even if it’s a one-time visit, I do my best as a healthcare provider to give you the best experience and a feeling of comfort.
In my spare time, traveling to new places and exploring Mother Nature are things I genuinely love. I also enjoy art, music, and dancing. One fun and interesting fact about me is that I can wiggle my ears!
Victoria
Victoria, RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician)
I am from a small town called Kinston, NC. I love my family, especially my parents, brother, and papa. We grew up humble and never really had much, but family was all we needed. I have two degrees; marine technology and, recently, vet technology from Cape Fear Community College. I am working to complete my VTNE to become an RVT (registered veterinary technician).
I chose this job for my love of animals. I want to be able to help other families get their pets back home safe and sound. For some, their pets are all they have, and to be a part of their lives and help them is the best feeling in the world.
The best part of my job is being able to meet the clients and patients. I also enjoy being able to help people understand their pets better and teach them things they don’t know.
In my spare time, my dad and I are round-track race car drivers. I love it! Otherwise, you’ll see me with my friends and family. One day, my dream is to go skydiving or scuba diving.
Frances
Frances Lee – Animal Care Taker
I am from the cozy town of Warsaw, where I share my life with three wonderful kids. Ever since I can remember, my heart has been drawn to the beauty and innocence of animals. Working at the clinic grants me the precious opportunity to extend a helping hand to them in their moments of need.
The most delightful aspect of my job is undoubtedly the chance to meet and nurture countless furry friends. My deep sense of empathy and compassion for animals enriches the atmosphere of our office, bringing comfort and care to all our patients.
Outside of work, I find solace and joy in artistic pursuits such as painting and solving puzzles. I’m also fascinated by the inner workings of things and often find myself dismantling objects just to understand them better. One cherished dream on my bucket list is to embark on a journey to experience the wonders of Australia firsthand.
Baileigh
Baileigh – Animal Caretaker
I’ve spent most of my life in Farmville, with a brief stint in Colorado for two years. The most fulfilling aspect of my job is assisting pets and serving as their advocate.
My suitability for Willow Grove lies in my fear-free approach and strong determination. Beyond the professional realm, I enjoy traveling, hunting, and indulging in some retail therapy.
One item firmly planted on my bucket list is a trip to Germany. As for an intriguing tidbit about me, I used to compete in horse riding for hours on end.
Taylor
I grew up in Ayden, NC, and now call Grimesland home. I’m a proud mom to a little girl, and our house is filled with the happy chaos of one dog and two cats.
Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and their sweet innocence is what first drew me to this field. I feel incredibly lucky to spend each day doing what I love, surrounded by patients who bring so much joy and purpose.
The best part of my job is connecting with our patients and their families. Whether it’s a long-time client or a one-time visit, I always aim to make everyone feel cared for and at ease.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my pets, going to concerts, and traveling the world whenever I get the chance. One bucket list dream of mine is to work at the Australia Zoo someday!
