I worked at a daytime veterinary hospital for 3 years before I started my adventures in The Animal Emergency Center in December 2009. I have always wanted to work with animals and have a particular interest in emergency medicine.

Justin
My name is Justin, and I've been part of the Animal Emergency Center for over two years. I have had the pleasure of working with animals for almost my whole life. I am originally from the the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee. I started working with horses at an elementary age, and as I grew older I invested my time in the development of raising chickens. This was a community project with a local 4-H Club that I was a member of. We would raise them to adulthood, and auction off the chickens for charity money for the club. I had usually grown so attached to the animals that I had my mother set up someone at the auction that would buy them and give them back to me. I couldn't handle the thought of giving them away since I had raised them since before they had feathers. Time went on and I was later interested in shelter medicine. I worked with the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley for about a year. I have a huge passion for shelter medicine because its where I learned I had a talent with animals. I expanded my knowledge after working with Humane Society in Tennessee by working with a private practice for about a year before I moved to Florida. I moved to Jacksonville, FL and worked with the Jacksonville Humane Society for about 2 years. This was an amazing experience for me because we did a lot for the community. I became a certified member of the medical team D.A.R.T. (Disaster Animal Response Team) of the Humane Society of the United States. I was part of the Katrina relief, where 50 or so dogs were transported out of the devastated area and into a safe environment. We helped medically assess each pet, and treat accordingly. Some the pets were even re-united with their families. I eventually grew more interested in emergency situations, and that lead me to an Animal ER in Jacksonville where I was a nurse for three years. This was great experience because I was trained to work in intense situations. I continued my education going to lectures at Universities and conferences around the United States. I moved to Orlando in 2009, and started working for the Animal Emergency Center. I love my job and I enjoy being there for you and your loved one in a time of need.

Sara
Hello, my Name is Sara. I moved to Florida from New York around 4 years ago. I have always had a passion for Veterinary Medicine since I was around 5 years old. My house has always been filled with presence of animals. Currently I, myself, own two dogs, a German shepherd mix and a Rottweiler. My parents own our other four animals; a golden doodle, puggle, yorkie, and a domestic shorthair cat. I am currently pursuing my Biomedical Sciences degree for pre-veterinary studies, and hope to soon attend the University of Florida for my Veterinary degree. I began working for the Animal Emergency Center June of 2016 as a Patient Care Nurse. I couldn’t have found a better experience than this!

Nicole
My name is Nicole and I am one of the overnight veterinary nurses at this fine establishment! I started my career in the animal healthcare/welfare fields back in 2003 as an animal care specialist at a local humane society in Englewood, Florida. Then a year later I got hired at a small animal practice as a veterinary technician and that is what I have been doing ever since. I did work at the SPCA of Central Florida in Sanford (now Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando) as an Assistant Shelter Manager for a couple of years in 2007, but realized that I missed being a veterinary technician and went back to working in day practice. I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life! I love helping animals in need and I love when I can give back a healthy pet to a happy owner! This is my second time working at the Animal Emergency Center and I can honestly say that I enjoy coming to work every day and being the best vet tech that I can be. I thrive on the hustle and bustle of working in emergency medicine and I welcome the challenges that I face every day at work! I have worked at many day practices over the years, but nothing compares to working in emergency medicine. When I’m not working, I’m usually watching movies, screaming my head off on a rollercoaster at a theme park or watching the Washington Redskins play. I enjoy spending time with my fiancée of 15 years and my cat, Pipple.

Heather
My name is Heather and I am originally from Pennsylvania, but spent most of my life here in Florida. My parents are big animal lovers and they have passed that down to me. We grew up having a menagerie of animals – dogs, cats, mice/rats, turtles, a chinchilla, a rabbit, and you can’t leave out the rotating fish! I currently have a spoiled Old English sheepdog (Riley), a mischievous Manx cat (Henry), and, the resident old man, Red-eared Slider turtle (Oscar). Animals have always been an area that I greatly cared about but it wasn’t until 2007 when I got my first job at a veterinary clinic that I truly found my passion in veterinary medicine. I am currently enrolled in the Veterinary Technology Program at St. Petersburg College. It is through this program I will be getting my nursing, certification and Bachelors in Veterinary Technology. Since 2007 I have worked as a receptionist, a kennel technician, an assistant, and most recently a veterinary nurse. During this time I have worked in day practice as well as a couple years in emergency medicine. While I do like the client/patient bond that day practice brings, it is emergency medicine that brings unpredictability to the every day. I enjoy creating that bond with the client and their pet, to make every situation as comforting as possible - even in an emergency. I joined the Animal Emergency Center team in October of 2016, and I could not have found a more impressive group of people to help me be there for you and your pet.
