Samantha

Samantha began her career as a kennel technician right out of high school and gradually learned every part of clinic life, gaining the skills to move confidently through each day. Growing up in Parrish and showing swine and dairy cows through Future Farmers of America, she always knew she wanted to work with animals.

She enjoys helping pets feel better and supporting their owners, and her favorite part of the job is providing hands-on care. After spending time in the clinical and research side of vet med, she returned to Parrish Veterinary Clinic because she missed working closely with pets.

At home, Samantha shares her life with Chief, a cattle dog mix; Timber, Blossom, and Iris, her rescued domestic shorthair cats; and Bruni, her leopard gecko. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, shooting, riding motorcycles, and baking.
