Ashley, RDMS

Ashley was born and raised in Alabama. She grew up with a passion for all animals big and small, with hopes of working with them one day. 

She graduated from Wallace State Community College in 2005 with a degree in Ultrasound in human medicine. This was a long way from the animals she wanted to work with, but as luck would have it, at the right place and at the right time, she has gone to the dogs!

Ashley is responsible for performing X-Rays, CT Scans, and Ultrasounds. She also assists in performing Endoscopic procedures, Anesthesia, and Surgery. She takes care of each patient with care and compassion as if they were her own pet.

Ashley and her husband Kevin live in Hartselle with their 2 daughters, Morgan and Madison. They have one dog, Maximus.
