Meet the Team

Sam is a dedicated veterinary assistant currently in school to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). She joined the team after being encouraged by Dr. Houghton to apply, and quickly found her passion for supporting both pets and their families.

Sara has always wanted to become a veterinarian. She has fond memories of playing in the woods and lake with her brother, collecting seeds and berries to make treats for their family's chickens!

For Simi Johnson, veterinary medicine isn’t just a career - it’s been a way of life since childhood. Raised on her family’s farm in Mooresville, NC, she grew up surrounded by horses, sheep, goats, cows, cats, dogs, and chickens.

For Toviel, veterinary medicine began with curiosity and grew into a calling. At 13 years old, she picked up a veterinary science book through her 4-H club, not realizing it would spark a lifelong passion.
