One of Ashlie’s favorite parts of veterinary medicine is getting to know the families who trust SCVC with their pets and finding new ways for our clinic to better serve them. Behind the scenes, she is equally passionate about supporting our team, developing future leaders, and helping SCVC continue to grow without losing the close-knit, hometown feeling that makes our practice special.

Outside of the clinic, Ashlie enjoys spending time with her 3 dogs, reading, cooking, tackling home projects, and finding any excuse to be outdoors. After years of encouragement from the SCVC team, she finally made the move to Georgetown and is happy to call the community she serves home.
