Elizabeth
Elizabeth joined the team as a receptionist in 2025 after graduating from the University of Southern Indiana for Computer Science. After living in a household with multiple dogs and cats, she has a deep love for pets of all shapes and sizes. 
While she does love a good video game, she spends much of her time in various fiber arts and reading books. Due to her passion for "old" hobbies and her caring nature, she has been dubbed the "grandma" by her friends, and hopes to show this side to the various furry friends that will come through U-Vet's doors.
