Education
Ashley attended Purdue University where she received a Bachelor's in Animal Science and an Associates in Veterinary Technology. She then moved to Indianapolis where she worked as a RVT for 8 years. She then returned to Fort Wayne and began working at the Pine Valley Veterinary Clinic in May of 2017.

Ashley’s combined love of animals and science lead her to working in Veterinary Medicine. She grew up wanting to work with marine mammals, but growing up in Indiana made that difficult and she eventually settled on Veterinary Medicine.
She originally attended college to pursue becoming a veterinarian. Having never worked in a vet office, it wasn’t until she was almost finished with her undergraduate that she learned about RVTs. That job interested her more, so she finished her Animal Science degree. She then applied and was accepted into Purdue’s Vet Tech program. As a valued member of our team, Ashley’s duties include: collecting and running lab samples, monitoring animals under anesthesia, caring for hospitalized patients, assisting the veterinarians, taking radiographs, client education, and performing dental cleanings, to name a few. :) |
When she is not in our office, she enjoys a variety of outdoor adventures, reading, watching movies, and being crafty.
