History and Background
Katie was born and raised in the small country town of Grand Prairie, Louisiana, and has lived there her whole life - so much so that when she moved out of her mom's house, it was just to the house next door! She graduated from Northwest High School in 2013, and not long after, she began working with animals. In 2015, she joined Southern Tails Pet Spa and Resort, where she gained valuable experience in pet care and discovered her passion for working with animals in a professional setting.

Professional Journey
A few years later, Katie moved briefly to North Dakota with her fiancé, and it was during that time away that she realized just how much she loved working with animals. She knew she wanted to continue in this field, but in a way that would allow her to learn and grow beyond grooming. When she returned home, she applied to several veterinary clinics, and she is grateful that Bellevue called her back - it has been the perfect fit ever since. Her dedication to learning and growth has made her an invaluable part of the team.

Where She Is Now
Now, as Office Manager, Katie enjoys supporting both clients and their pets while being part of a team that makes a real difference every day. At home, life stays full with her four dogs - three dachshunds and a rat terrier - and three orange cats. She and her fiancé also share their lives with his daughter, whom Katie has had the joy of knowing since she was two years old. When she's not with family, she loves painting, reading, and, as any true Lord of the Rings fan would, diving into a good story. She is left-handed - something people are always surprised to learn about her! Her warm personality and organizational skills make her an essential part of the clinic's daily operations.
