Meet The Team

Our skilled and dedicated team makes exceptional care possible. Meet the people behind our practice!

Jill - Vet Assistant

Jill brings a wealth of equine experience to our team. She grew up in the Kansas City area, where she developed a strong background in the horse industry. She gained valuable experience working at a large boarding and training facility and spent her formative years riding hunter jumpers.

Jill is now the proud owner of her own farm, where she owns and breeds Thoroughbreds and Connemaras. In her free time, she enjoys riding, spending quality time with her husband and son, and tending to her menagerie of animals.

Charlea - Vet Assistant

Charlea hails from Massachusetts and has been immersed in the equestrian world from a young age. Her early years were spent showing hunter jumpers, and she gained invaluable experience by training, working, and learning under several esteemed trainers in New York.

Following her graduation from high school, Charlea relocated to Missouri to attend Heartland Horseshoeing School. She then bought a special horse that helped expand her skills into the ranching and roping disciplines. This transition opened doors for her to work from horseback at ranch rodeos, roping events, and various cattle operations. Her talents extend to ranch versatility shows, where she has achieved considerable success.

Charlea is the owner of Cross C Equine, her own training business. This venture allows her to apply her extensive equine knowledge and expertise daily. Outside of work, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband, riding and training horses, and caring for her cattle.

Deeply passionate about the agriculture industry, Charlea believes that any day spent working with livestock is a day well spent. We are excited to have her join our team and truly value the wealth of experience she brings with her.

She will be assisting Dr. Cameron on appointments.

Hannah - Vet Assistant Summer 2025

Also known around the practice as “Young Hannah,” she has been an invaluable part of our team for this year! She was assisting throughout the busy spring breeding season and supporting us all summer long. Her enthusiasm, reliability, and natural talent with horses shine through in everything she does.

Hannah has her sights set on becoming an Equine Veterinarian and is attending Cottey College this fall as a freshman, taking her first steps toward that goal. Her passion for equine care extends well beyond work as she is the proud owner of three BLM Mustangs - Peaches, Kiwi, and Atlas.

Whether she’s studying, working, or spending time with her horses, Hannah brings dedication and heart to every part of her day. We are so lucky to have her as part of our team and can’t wait to see all she accomplishes on her journey into veterinary medicine. You can catch "Young Hannah" helping with tasks around the office, patient care, and extensive appointment days!
