Sherri joined our team in January 2025, bringing with her over 27 years of hands-on experience in the veterinary field. She began her career as a kennel technician and, through dedication and on-the-job training from experienced veterinarians, quickly advanced to the role of veterinary technician. Sherri is highly skilled in many areas, including client education, catheter placement, blood draws, lab testing, radiology, surgical assistance, and anesthesia management. What initially drew Sherri to veterinary medicine was a deep-rooted passion for animal health and welfare. That passion continues to fuel her work each day, especially in her commitment to helping pets—many of whom are considered family by their owners—live healthy, happy lives. For Sherri, the most rewarding part of her job is knowing she plays a role in the well-being of animals that bring so much joy to people’s lives. Outside the clinic, Sherri enjoys hiking, fishing, painting, and drawing. She also cherishes time spent relaxing with her three beloved pugs: Cold Ethyl, Bentley Eugene, and Poppy Pickles—her “fur children” who never fail to brighten her days. A fun fact about Sherri: she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Mississippi State University with a Bachelor’s in Art in History. She’s also a fan of all things spooky, adding a little seasonal spirit to the clinic whenever she can.

Mazzi became a valued member of our team in December 2024, bringing with her a passion for animal care and a strong background in veterinary support. Her journey into the veterinary field began in 2021 when she started as a kennel technician. From there, she advanced to veterinary assistant and eventually found her niche at the front desk, where she now excels as our receptionist. With experience on both the medical and client service sides of a veterinary practice, Mazzi brings a unique perspective to her role. She is especially passionate about advocating for animals and enjoys educating pet owners, helping them better understand their pets’ needs and care. Outside of work, Mazzi enjoys reading and spending time outdoors with her dogs. She shares her home with three beloved pets, two of whom are rescues with touching backstories. Snoop, found during a February 2021 ice storm, had ice burns but still greeted the world with a wagging tail and bright eyes. Lucy, an owner surrender, came from a history of abusive homes but blossomed into a goofy, lovable companion after adoption. And then there’s Doobie—affectionately known as the “cat-dog” for her love of windowsills and feline-like stretching. Fun fact: Mazzi loves all things Halloween and can play the ukulele, adding just the right mix of spooky charm and musical flair to the clinic when the season rolls around!
