Meet Our Team of Veterinarians


Picture

Dr. Andrew Verdin

Dr. Andrew Verdin is a Simpsonville native, and although he grew up surrounded by veterinary medicine, he initially pursued a career path in marketing and sales. After three years, Andrew began to feel God’s call for him to leave the business world and pursue a career in veterinary medicine; he enrolled at Clemson University and went on to earn his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. Andrew joined Verdin Veterinary Services in May 2010 and became a practice owner in 2014. In 2018, he and his business partner purchased land to construct a new state of the art veterinary hospital in Simpsonville, which they rebranded as Integrity Animal Health Group. Andrew and his wife Rebekah have been blessed with 3 girls: Baylis, Harris, and Louisa.

Dr. Daniel Moore

Daniel’s first veterinary medicine job in a southeast Georgia animal clinic showed him that veterinarians work on many species of animals. While he was originally hired as a kennel employee, Daniel eventually picked up veterinary assistant, receptionist, and grooming skills, which helped to shape the career that he loves today! Growing up in Waycross, Georgia, Daniel inherited a strong work ethic from his two industrious parents. While earning his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Georgia, Daniel met Andrew Verdin, and although he initially purchased a solo practice closer to his Georgia roots, Daniel joined Verdin Veterinary Services in September 2012. Daniel, his wife Heather, and their four children have three dogs: Aspen, Bopper, and Cinder. They are involved in their church and give credit to their Lord Jesus Christ for all of his blessings to their family.

Dr. Kim Hollifield

Dr. Hollifield joined Integrity as a result of a mutual friend with Dr. Verdin who placed them in contact with each other. This friend knew she was looking for a job in the Greenville area and that Dr. Verdin was seeking another associate. From a young age, Kim had an strong interest in animal care and was encouraged by the adults in her life to pursue a veterinary career. Born in the Ramseur, NC area, she grew up near Dacusville, SC on a small hobby farm, enjoying horseback riding and competing in equine endurance racing through high school and college. After attending Clemson, she was accepted to Mississippi State University for veterinary school. Kim practiced in southwest VA and then NC for several years before eventually moving back to be near family in the Upstate. Bringing over 10 years of surgical experience to the team, Dr. Hollifield is Integrity’s primary surgeon, performing soft tissue surgeries and dental procedures 3 days each week.

Dr. Katie Parham

Dr. Katie Blumer's career path began in high school as she fell in love with all the sciences. In undergrad she chose to pursue a teaching degree for secondary school science with the full intent of making a meaningful impact in the lives of students and their families. Upon further study, she realized a greater love for science than education preparation and turned toward veterinary medicine where she could meld the two original joys: applied science and love for people. She realized her ultimate desire is to make an impact by using her abilities to help animals, and therefore help their human parents for the glory of God. Her journey took her to the literal ends of the earth where she earned her Bachelor of Veterinary Science from Massey University of New Zealand in 2019. She first came into contact with IAHG as a veterinary student when she spent two weeks shadowing the doctors at the hospital. Upon returning to the United States in 2020, she spent her first year in small animal private practice before joining the Integrity Animal Health Group team in July of 2021. As a Greenville native, she is so excited to be back in the area serving the community and its furry friends. Fun fact: Katie has a female cat named Bobcat!

Dr. Lauren Davis

Dr. Davis came to Integrity first while in veterinary school. She worked with Dr. Cato's parents at their practice in Georgia, and they encouraged her to pursue an externship. She enjoyed it so much that she did multiple externships, briefly worked at another practice in the Upstate, then joined Integrity as an associate in April 2022. Growing up in the Upstate with her parents and little brother, Lauren attended Byrnes High School, the University of South Carolina for undergrad (Biology degrees), and the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. Lauren’s greatest joy is talking with clients! She loves how animals help us bridge cultural, economic, and social gaps that otherwise might separate us. She sees the value of connecting with and helping people by helping their animals. Personally, Lauren’s multiple pets are amputees. They are incredibly resilient and joyful, despite their "handicap" (which they don't see as one). They're great reminders of how your attitude/mindset impacts how you live! Dr. Davis enjoys anything and everything Carolina. She loves working with and riding her horses and being involved in student ministry.

Dr. Erica (Yopp) Landry 

Dr. Erica Landry is a Greenville native. She earned her undergraduate degree at Berry College in Georgia and then traveled to Tennessee to attend Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine for veterinary school.
She has always had a passion for animals and grew up competing and riding horses. Her passion for veterinary medicine was fostered by the wonderful vets who cared for her horses growing up. She is passionate about building relationships with clients and their beloved pets and helping foster those long-term bonds.
Before attending veterinary school, Dr. Landry brought her own pets to Integrity. She loved the people and caring environment so much, that during vet school, she spent time shadowing at the practice. After graduating, Dr. Landry was excited to move back home to Greenville where she practiced in the Upstate for a time, until she joined the Integrity team as an associate in 2023. Dr. Landry recently got married and she and her husband love to spend time outdoors and with family and friends in the area. When she is not in the practice, you can find her planning her next trip to a National Park or out on the farm riding her horse, Nacho.

​Heather Moore • Client Care Liaison • Lead Team

Heather is from Waycross, Georgia where she spent her childhood surrounded by animals. She grew up next door to her grandparent’s ranch, which harbored hundreds of ostriches, emus, rheas and a couple of llamas. Heather hoped for a career as a Veterinarian, yet God had a different plan in mind. She met her husband, Daniel Moore, in 1994 and they now have four children: Danyon, Zane, Grace, and Selah. Heather has always been a stay-at-home mom, with the past eight years spent home-schooling her children until she joined the Integrity Animal Health Team in July 2018.

Rebekah was born in Northern Ireland, and moved to a town near Glasgow, Scotland when she was four. Her family relocated to Pennsylvania in 1998, and Rebekah moved to Greenville for further education in 2002. Meeting Andrew while he was in vet school changed the course of her life for sure! Transitioning from her teaching career, Rebekah joined the practice in 2009 and was trained first as a veterinary receptionist, after which she moved into Eloise Verdin’s former office manager role. Rebekah most enjoys interacting with the clients and their pets, and considers the hospital’s staff more like family than employees!

Amber Visin, LVT • Lead Veterinary Technician

Amber is a Licensed Veterinary Technician who graduated from Tri-County’s Veterinary Technology program in 2016. She started with IAHG on April 10, 2019, coming from the Animal Emergency Clinic. After getting married, Amber was looking to change her schedule and work more normal hours. She has always had a passion for animal care; starting her career with animals in high school, she worked in a shelter for 2 years. There, she quickly knew that she wanted to work closely with animals to make a positive impact. She loves being able to figure out what is wrong and helping the Doctors come up with a treatment plan. Since our patients can’t tell us anything, this fact makes the job that much more challenging!
​
​Amber was born in Ontario, Canada; most of her family still live there. She and her husband have two girls and several fur babies to share life with!

Picture

Tonya Ashley, LVT • ​Lead Technician Sunrise 

Tonya graduated in 1998 with her veterinary technical degree from Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton, SC. After working for 15 years at a mixed animal practice, she decided to venture out and explore the emergency side of the veterinary field. Then, in October 2018, she joined our Integrity Team! As a young child, she was an animal lover and decided to pursue this passion. Tonya loves the diversity of her occupation because of the unexpected challenges that may arise even in a day. She also really enjoys the client/patient relationships that develop over the years of caring for their fur babies!
​
​Raised in a small town near Anderson, SC, she was consistently surrounded by animals. Tonya, her husband, and their two children enjoy living on a farm with dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon and a variety of chickens! One of her proudest achievements includes LVT of the year in 2010 for South Carolina.

Picture

Kaitlin Stoddard • Client Care Advocate • Online Store Specialist • Lead Team

Kaitlin’s passion for people shines through in her daily interactions with our clients.

Picture

Laura White • Patient Care Specialist • Lead CSR 

Laura had been working at another practice for 10 years and thought that she would be there until retirement. However, the Lord started whispering to her heart that He had something else planned for her. She had a talk with God and let Him know that she needed Him to make it crystal clear where He wanted her to be. After meeting the Management Team, Laura knew the answer was Integrity Animal Health Group! Most of her adult life Laura spent in restaurant management, but in January 2008, she accepted Jesus as her Savior and realized that the dream of animal care she had as a child was placed in her heart by her Creator and that was her purpose in life. Laura enjoys getting to know the pets and their different personalities. The middle child of three born to a military father and mother, her family moved several times, but Laura has been a South Carolina resident since 1994.

Picture

Emily Johnson • Licensed Veterinary Technician

Emily joined the IAHG team February 2024. After staying at home for the past 9 years with her 3 daughters, she was ready to find her way back into her beloved career, although hesitant that she might not be able to achieve a work and family life balance. Becoming part of the IAHG team is a true blessing, and she feels incredibly grateful that she can continue to focus on her family while also being part of an incredible team!
​
Becoming an LVT wasn’t Emily’s initial plan. She graduated from Clemson University in 2005 with a BA in business. After working in the business world for 2 years, she wasn’t quite satisfied. While considering other business-related careers, her now husband, Craig, suggested trying the animal hospital where they took their dog Luna. In January ‘07, she began her veterinary journey in that local animal clinic as a receptionist and never looked back! Her love of animals combined with the great people she worked with made it the perfect fit. There is something pretty special about working alongside a team of people sharing love and respect for animals of all kinds, their welfare, and a commitment to serve each patient and client with compassion, like a family.

Emily was accepted into the Northern Virginia Community College online veterinary technician program and became licensed in 2010. She has met some of her closest friends and formed relationships with clients and pets that she would have missed out on if it weren’t for Craig encouraging her to take that leap of faith.

Throughout her childhood, there were quite a few animal friends that formed a special place in Emily’s heart. Perhaps the friend that earned one of the biggest places was Baxter, the Retriever mix Santa left for her and her sister. He was from a litter of puppies her uncle had found on the roadside - the bestest boy! He watched Emily grow up and graduate high school, and then go off to college. He was the first pet heartbreak she truly felt when he crossed the rainbow bridge. Baxter inspired Emily to have empathy towards those that are struggling with the difficult decision of letting their companion go, a very hard, but selfless act indeed.

Emily enjoys working in this field because it allows her to meet people entirely different from her and yet they can share in one of the most important aspects of the field, the love of animals. She loves building rapport with clients and helping to serve their needs as it relates to their pets. At the end of her day, she has a sense of purpose knowing she is positively impacting others who are also having a positive influence in her own life!

Born and raised in Spartanburg, SC, she married her husband Craig in 2008, and they now reside in Simpsonville. Among her greatest achievements are their 3 wonderful daughters, Nora, Edie, and Ingrid. Their newest family member is a playful black lab, Etta J. Emily relishes being a sugar cookie artist and making her daughters’ birthday cakes in her free time!

Margaret Brown • Licensed Veterinary Technician

Margaret joined the Integrity team after relocating to South Carolina from Alaska in July 2021. Margaret is a graduate of the Zoo Animal Technology Program at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, FL. Growing up in Ocala, Florida, Margaret was surrounded by race horses and wildlife from a young age. Her original career choice was to become an astronaut, but that decision changed after she began volunteering at a local wildlife rehabilitation center in high school. After graduating from college, Margaret completed an avian internship with Zoo Miami that further instilled a desire to work animals of all varieties.

She spent the last 5 years working as an LVT in a mixed species practice in Alaska where she taught her fellow technicians and assistants to care for exotic pets like birds, reptiles, and hedgehogs. She owns two senior dogs and loves hiking and being outdoors. Margaret plans to continue volunteering with exotic animals at the local zoo.

Marian Vagi • Licensed Veterinary Technician

Marian became a member of the Integrity family in April 2022; she heard from friends how wonderful Integrity was to work for and eagerly joined the team! However, her love for the profession began at a very young age, when she knew that working with animals in some way was her calling.

Born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, Marian is the youngest of three. After leaving school she went to work for Strathclyde Police mounted and dog branch. Here she was introduced to the background of Veterinary Nursing and was instantly hooked. She knew then that she had to pursue this career. Marian started her technical training in 1992 and qualified in 1996.

Everyday animals inspire her to be a better human being. The suffering some animals go through is horrendous but, when given another chance, they still have so much love to give the people who show them compassion and care. Her favorite aspects of the job are the wet kisses on the nose, the wagging tail, the happy animals that were previously miserable, the thankful clients, and best workmates and employers who care.

Her achievements include her wonderful son Murdo; watching him grow and develop is her great delight! Of course, she is also proud of her veterinary nursing certificate, Dog grooming certificate, and Emergency and critical care UK certificate. In Marian’s personal time, she loves to draw, walk, work out, travel, basically enjoy life to the max!

Kirin Denton • Licensed Veterinary Technician 

Kirin first met the Integrity team when she walked in and handed her resume to the friendly receptionist Kim in the Spring of 2024!
She became a veterinary technician because of her lifelong love of animals, wanting to help them any way she can, either directly or through educating clients more about pet health. She enjoys not only helping a pet in need but also seeing owners truly appreciate the lengths we all go through to care for their pets.
A notable childhood experience that formed this early love was when Kirin’s family took my cat into the vet for urinary blockage. She realized then her desire to see him recover and to be with him during his care, and her parents also recognized that her future would be in a veterinary or zoo setting. So while in college, Kirin’s dad asked the local vet if she could work there during breaks. Shadowing allowed her to see exactly how a veterinary clinic worked, and she started to learn how to care for pets.
Kirin was raised in NH with her parents and older sister, then moved to SC for college to study Biology. After working part time in the veterinary profession, she pursued her veterinary technician degree in Charleston. Her work experience has been in Atlanta, Athens, and now Greenville!
In her spare time, Kirin loves wine tasting and exploring downtown Greenville. She is passionate about continuing education in vet med to apply it in her career every day!

Danielle Walsh • Patient Care Specialist

Danielle began working for IAHG in March 2018. She made the decision to switch from Equine back to small animal when she found out she was expecting her first child. Her passion for the vet field started with her love for horses; she loves being an advocate for animals that don’t have a voice. Growing up on Long Island, NY in a single parent home, Danielle has a terrific role model and best friend of a mother. Her mother’s influences instilled a strong work ethic, good morals and perseverance throughout life.
​

Picture

Sarai Loya • Lead Surgical Tech 

In April 2022, Sarai joined Team Integrity at the recommendation of a co-worker, who informed her about the practice and encouraged her to apply.
Growing up in Missouri with her parents, older sister and older brother, most of Sarai’s family still lived in Mexico, so they would visit every summer and sometimes during Christmas. During this time, Sarai watched her aunt practice veterinary medicine in Mexico and absolutely loved the animal AND medical aspect of it. Ever since, she has always known she wanted to be in the field, and although originally thought she wanted to be a veterinarian, Sarai realized she really enjoyed the veterinary technician aspect.
One event really inspired Sarai in her technical career path. A client’s friend found a puppy, and she brought him in for a physical. He was severely malnourished, covered in fleas and ticks, and had multiple skin issues. She had no intention of keeping him but did everything he needed medically, no matter the cost; she said that she could not imagine one of her dogs in this situation and wanted to help him. Over the span of 3-4 weeks, Sarai saw him frequently when he came for medicated baths and follow ups; he became playful and learned how to be a dog again! After gaining that ground, unfortunately the dog became very sick and was diagnosed with Ehrlichiosis. He was transferred to a specialist, and for several weeks he was treated until back to full health. Although at first this client had no intention of keeping him, he completely won her over, becoming part of her family! Sarai would see him yearly at the time of his annual or when he came in for occasional ear infections. Sadly, one day the owner called frantic because he had been hit by a van. Despite rushing him to the clinic, he passed, and Sarai will never forget the great sadness that came over the whole clinic. The staff members all cried along with the owner and could not believe that this dog that went through so much was gone. Even though she was very upset, she thanked the team for all they had done for him and the love they showed him. The client-technician bond is so very special! Sarai especially loves assisting with pet dentals: from the pre-dental exam to the cleaning, dental radiographs, explaining to owners the importance of dental care and seeing the pet improve overall, it is by far her favorite! Her hobbies include crafting – paper crafts, shirt making, and sewing, as well as baking and cooking.

Picture

Shawnese Bennett • Licensed Veterinary Technician

When a friend was hired by Integrity and mentioned how much the practice owners care about their staff and about pets, Shawnese applied for a position in May 2022. Coming from a clinic owned by a corporation, she knew it had to be a better work environment, so she was thrilled to accept the job she currently loves!

​Born in FL, Shawnese moved to SC when she was 1 year old; however, her parents' families originate in SC. She has an older sister, a younger brother, 2 nephews and a niece on the way! Shawnese has always loved animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds, she has constantly found purpose in making sure all were taken care of to the best of her ability. 

Shawnese’ interests are animals of all species, video games, anything Harry Potter, art and working out. Her mom was influential in her love for animals, and her dad influenced her work ethic due to his many years serving in the Air Force. Her proudest achievements include her degree in psychology and being the first in her family to graduate from the University of South Carolina (Go Cocks!).

Picture

Shannah Steel • Veterinary Assistant

Shannah joined the team in April 2023. She had been at the practice a good deal through her previous job, and she knew from the beginning that she would love to work at Integrity someday because of the amazing people and positive atmosphere!
From the time Shannah was little, she wanted to be a veterinarian, and up until her freshman year in college she pursued that dream.  Some events unexpectedly changed her direction, and she ended up teaching Spanish language, literature, and linguistics at a local university for 16 years. In the past several years, the Lord changed her direction yet again; she came “full circle” to her dream of working in the veterinary field.
An early memory of her passion for animals was Shannah’s first attempt to save a creature’s life when she found a tiny black kitten discarded in a trash heap.  She named him Soot and hovered over his cardboard box trying to syringe-feed him.  She still remembers the heartbreak of finding him lifeless and to this day has a soft spot for tiny sick animals with a strong desire to help them survive.
While she very much enjoys meeting her patients and has been surprised by an unexpected fascination with the variety of cat personalities, Shannah’s favorite part of her job is the people; she loves working with Team Integrity as well as getting to know clients!
The third of four children, Shannah was born in Indiana, but spent several early years on the Caribbean island of Antigua and her teenage years in Utah. Her family traveled the country, which fueled her love for road trips and beautiful places.
In her free time, she enjoys riding Strider, her quarter horse, and hiking with Charlie Dickens, her Catahoula Leopard Dog (aka “Charles the Wicked.”)  Shannah’s mini goldendoodle Sunny Sundown has been nominated the “unofficial official mascot” of the East North clinic, and his best pal Ceilidh the failed barn cat rules the house! Shannah loves Scottish country dance and can often be found traveling to highland games and dances on the weekends.​

Alyssa Kazlauskas• Veterinary Assistant

Alyssa grew up always loving animals for as long as she can remember. When the time came for her to choose a career path, she decided to get a bachelor’s degree in wildlife biology at Bob Jones University. While working on her undergraduate, Alyssa had the opportunity to work at the campus serpentarium, where she gained experience in how to handle and take care of various reptiles. During her senior year, she interned at the Greenville Zoo with the mindset of pursuing a career in zoo-keeping. However, her interest in the medical aspect of helping animals was piqued, so she changed direction to became a certified veterinary assistant through Animal Behavior College. Alyssa heard about Integrity Animal Health Group through a mutual friend and the rest is history!

Picture

Lynne Burnett • Veterinary Assistant

Lynne has always harbored a deep passion for animal care, and wishes she could adopt every single pet in need of a home. She has served as a Veterinary Assistant at IAHG since June 2014; she enjoys helping to hold pets while they receive vaccines or get a pedicure! She enjoys being able to spend time with anxious pets and cuddling to calm their nerves.
​
A South Carolina native, Lynne was referred to the clinic by her neighbor. At home, Lynne and her family have one dog, Ace. When Lynne was a child, she had a pet cow named Stella. Lynne would run home each day after school, run down to the pasture, jump on the gate, and "holler" for Stella to come.

Kelly Martin• Veterinary Assistant

Kelly joined Team Integrity through multiple relational connections with the Verdins, first in a volunteering role in May, and then she decided she loved it too much to stop coming! Her deep love for animals (especially dogs) began when she was a child. A puppy was on her Christmas list every year and now she can interact with animals regularly! A native of Simpsonville, Kelly’s family is close, and all still live in the area and see each other regularly.

Kelly’s role involves assisting other team members during appointments and generally trying to pitch in when/where there's any kind of need. She especially feels inspired every day when she sees first-hand the bond that owners have with their pets. It's a special relationship that Kelly is thrilled to help build and protect. In her mind, the way to a client's heart is through their pet! She really enjoys giving her best effort and attention to a pet because it reassures the owner that we're also giving THEM our best. Among her many interests, Kelly enjoys music, baking, arts, and crafts, and being very involved in her church. She also works for a financial management firm where she gets lots of practice in communication!

Picture

Natalee Gomez • Veterinary Assistant

Natalee grew up frequently traveling to Guatemala and the Philippines since her parents are originally from these countries. Getting to spend time with all the animals they own, from spider monkeys and iguanas to your regular house cats, really peaked her interest in the veterinary field. Traveling also helped her become Trilingual.
​
Natalee completed her coursework to become a certified veterinary assistant in November 2021. Working at IAHG has given her the opportunity to get her foot in the door so she can continue her education to become a veterinary technician. Dr. Moore found Natalee while she was on a job/externship hunt, and in September 2021 she landed at IAHG, where she couldn’t be happier!

Picture

Regina Harrison • Patient Care Specialist

Regina began working for Integrity in July 2019 because of the recommendation of a close friend who was also an employee of IAHG at the time. But her interest in veterinary medicine goes back to her childhood, where her love of animals grew, along with her desire to help them. However, when she was in middle school, Regina shadowed in an animal hospital for a day, and she wasn’t sure by the end of that day if she had the stomach to handle medical work! It wasn’t until her second year of college that God placed upon her heart a special love for animal medicine. A native of Greenville, Regina has spent her entire life in this area, growing up with her dad, step-mom, two brothers, and one sister. Her early career interest was in the area of fashion, and she has always enjoyed spending time with her family. She attributes her greatest positive influences in life to both of her parents, who taught her to demonstrate a strong work ethic and to love those who are less fortunate. To this day, Regina still enjoys family time - hiking, biking, and Taekwondo. She also volunteers at her church helping with special friends. She views her greatest achievement as her role of mom to her son Connor.

Nanette Duggan • Customer Service Representative

Nanette joined the Integrity team in October 2022 as a CSR after much prayer and research, followed by a cold call to request an interview! As a breast cancer survivor with 30 years of experience in the medical field, she received advice to make a career change, and her lifelong love of animals made veterinary medicine a logical choice.

Born and raised in Michigan, Nanette grew up with 2 siblings in a very nurturing family environment. She comes from hardworking stock, with parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all retiring from GM, Ford, and Pontiac after 40+ years of service. Her love for the great outdoors grew with a grandfather who taught her how to fish, hunt, and trap. The care of farm animals was a big part of her early experience.

Nanette is inspired by the bonds she develops with Integrity clients whose pets are going through challenges like a diabetes diagnosis. She is grateful for daily opportunities to bring comfort and be serving as hands and feet in Jesus’ name.

​Married to her best friend of 33 years, Nanette and her husband have 5 sons and 3 grandsons. They love to gather for Sunday suppers, kayak, camp, fish, boat, swim, garden, and just be outside together! Reading and flipping dinette sets and dressers are Nanette’s other pastimes.

Ashley Roberts • Customer Service Representative • Integrity at East North

Ashley Roberts joined team Integrity in April 2023 as a Customer Service Representative after becoming aware of the opening by speaking with Dr. Andrew Verdin at church. She quickly knew this would be a well-suited position because of her love of working with the public.

She also has a strong passion for the care of animals and their owners. One of her early memories was when her family got their first cat and her great love for him from the beginning. He was 16 when they had to have him put down, and she remembers how great Dr. Cato was with her and what great care they took of Mannie.

Growing up in Greer, SC with her parents and two older brothers, Ashley always had family pets, so the adoration of animals stems back as far as she can remember. When she went off to college, the only thing she knew was that she wanted to work with the public in some capacity.

Ashley's favorite part of her job is being able to put owners' minds at ease, either by answering their questions or making them a cup of coffee while their pet is being attended to.

In her free time, Ashley enjoys reading, watching television, and hanging out with her husband and their two beloved dogs. Among her achievements, she graduated with a BA degree from Clemson University and looks foward to her career with Integrity Animal Health Group!

Ashliegh Boudreaux • Patient Care Specialist • Integrity at East North

Ashliegh began working at East North Veterinary Hospital in 2019 after moving to SC from New Orleans. IAHG acquired East North in October of 2022, and she has enjoyed working with the group ever since.

Her passion for the veterinary industry began when she was a little girl growing up on a farm just north of New Orleans with her younger brother and sister. She was always in awe of the vets that would come out to the farm and ‘fix’ all her animals, and she was known to follow them around asking a never-ending list of questions each time they visited. Her childhood was filled with outdoor adventures, fishing in the pond, and exploring the woods on their farm – a perfect place to develop a love for animals!

To her, working at Integrity is so much more than playing with puppies and kittens, although that brings great joy! Ashliegh loves being part of a team, working together to find answers for pets and owners. She is deeply passionate about teaching and learning and believes that we all do a bit of both each day.

As she thinks back over her 20 years in the profession, Ashleigh is most fulfilled when she is advocating for a pet and helping the owner be the best caregiver possible. Care, understanding, and education are such a huge part of what we do as veterinary professionals - knowing that she can help in any one of these areas makes each day worth it.

​ Currently, Ashliegh is an active board member of a local kennel club. She and her dogs travel all over the country winning many awards, primarily in conformation venues. She is very active in supporting our community with responsible dog ownership and education. Since she is also handy in the kitchen, it brings her great joy to whip up exciting treats for friends and coworkers to try!

Brittany Carrizales • Veterinary Assistant • Integrity at Sunrise

Brittany began working at Sunrise 2.5 years ago when a family member recommended she apply due to not feeling fulfilled at a previous job. She wanted a career where she could help animals and make a difference in animals and people’s lives. Dr. Colquhoun’s love and compassion for animals inspired her to pursue an education and turn her passion for animals into a career! Brittany enjoys seeing sick animals being treated and watching them transform back into their happy, healthy selves.
A Taylors native, she grew up with her parents and sister and now lives in the area with her husband and multiple species of pets! Brittany’s interests include anything outdoors, especially hiking and trail riding with her horses and dogs.

Tabitha Crow • Veterinary Assistant 

After moving back to the area, Tabitha was looking for an AAHA clinic to help with her schooling for her dream job of a vet tech. She applied for a position at Sunrise Animal Hospital and has been so thankful to have found a place to help her learn and grow.
Her love for animals is lifelong. In middle school, she took a quiz to see what jobs she should pursue based on her interests, and vet tech was one of them! Volunteering in a clinic and other extracurricular activities helped confirm her desire to work with animals. Although eager to help her teammates and patients in any way, Tabitha really enjoys the diagnostic side of her work, looking under the microscope to find answers. One instance that stands out in her passion for pets involved a young dog Tabitha’s husband was caring for. Injuring himself playing Frisbee, and unable to walk, this guy had to be rushed to the vet right away. After one look, the first vet said it was a hopeless cause. Obtaining a second opinion, new options were given, and cute Max recovered enough to walk and play Frisbee again, even living to a ripe old age of 13! This inspired Tabitha to be open to new medicine and techniques in the veterinary field to improve pets’ quality of life. A Virginia native, Tabitha grew up in North Carolina with her parents and 3 younger siblings. She was very active in her church and after school clubs: FFA, Odyssey of the Mind, veterinary shadowing, and HOSA. After high school the Lord brought her to Florida, where she met her husband in church. Several years ago, they moved to South Carolina to be closer to family. They share their home with a cute 6-month-old German Shepherd/Husky mix. When she’s not studying, Tabitha enjoys the outdoors, family time, playing retro video games with my husband (especially Zelda), reading, board games, and playing with their dog.

Dani Boutwell • Veterinary Assistant • Integrity at Sunrise

Dani joined the Sunrise Team in September 2021 while looking to work at a clinic again after taking almost a year hiatus from the field. Working with animals is something she’s always wanted to do since childhood. As a teen, she was inspired by watching Animal Cops with her mom; seeing those animals hurt and in need was one of the many reasons she wanted to be in an animal-centered career. After high school graduation, she took a year break to figure out what she really wanted to do before going to college and getting her veterinary assistant certificate. Dani made the decision that the medical field part of animal care was more suited for her than the law enforcement side.

One of Dani’s greatest joys is the relationship she has with her Integrity at Sunrise coworkers. She knows they have each other’s backs, depend on one another for help, and just are there for each other. They’re the best team she’s had the pleasure to work with.

Growing up in Easley, SC with her family of 6: Mom, Dad, 2 brothers (one older, one younger), and a (younger) sister, Dani was really into gaming and watching YouTube as a youngster. Outside of the practice, she now really enjoys exploring the world of fashion.
