Sam joined the Heritage Veterinary Care team in February 2024 as a veterinary assistant, bringing with her three years of experience as a dog trainer. Her interest in the veterinary field grew out of a desire to better understand canine health, particularly how certain breeds are predisposed to specific medical conditions.
One of Sam’s favorite parts of working here is the supportive team environment. She loves that no matter who you ask, the staff members are always willing to help.
Originally from Virginia, Sam has lived in Pennsylvania, Maine, and North Carolina before settling in Ohio. She shares her life with a lively crew of Brittanys—Malley, Holden, Stevie, Nell, Cajun, and Shelby, as well as her horse, Red.
Outside of the clinic, Sam enjoys competing in dog shows, agility events, and field trials/tests. Her dedication to animals, both in and out of work, shines through in everything she does.
