✨ Meet Hailey! ✨ Hailey is our amazing Lead Client Service Representative, and she loves being part of the neurology team because she’s always learning something new. What means the most to her? Helping guide pet owners through what can feel like a scary, overwhelming experience and making sure they feel heard, supported, and cared for every step of the way 💙🐾 When she’s not at work, Hailey goes home to quite the crew: 🐶 Emma (hound mix adventure buddy) 🐱 Fern (calico queen) 🐟 Crocodile (the betta with the best name) 🦎 Sunny (leopard gecko extraordinaire) And honestly… she’d have even more pets if she could! Outside of vet med, Hailey’s favorite role is being mom to her 4-year-old son, Wyatt. From playing with trucks to digging holes in the yard, they’re always making memories. She and her husband, Ryan, love camping, riding their side-by-side, and spending as much time outdoors as possible 🌲☀️ Fun fact: If she weren’t in veterinary medicine, Hailey would be a preschool teacher 🍎 Favorite pet movie? Spirit. Soft spot? Pets with people names! We’re so lucky to have Hailey leading the way at our front desk 💙🐾 #AnimalNeurologyCenter #ClientServiceHero #VetLife #NeurologyTeam #PetLovers
