Shelby joined the The Village Vet family in December of 2024. She has 16 years of experience as a veterinary technician. She is a Nashville native who grew up in veterinary medicine, so it was no surprise that when it came time to get a job and go to school, it would be in this field. She graduated from Murray State University with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in December of 2014. She passed her national boards to become a certified veterinary technologist in 2015. She has experience from large animal to small animal in university, emergency, urgent care, and private practice but private practice is where she feels most at home. On the weekends, she is spending her free time with her husband, their son, and their Great Dane, Zoey Grace [citation].
