Savanah

Veterinary Practice Manager, CVBL

Savanah is originally from Palatka, Florida, where she still lives about an hour from the clinic. She began working in veterinary medicine at age 15 after completing a high school internship and accepting her first position in a kennel. Over the years, she gained experience in many areas of the field before becoming Practice Manager at Green Cove Animal Hospital, where she has worked since February 2018.

Growing up, Savanah always told her dad she wanted to be a “doggy doctor.” She initially majored in human health science, but after shadowing in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice centers, she realized human medicine was not the right fit. She shifted her focus to veterinary medicine through online classes, night classes, and extensive on-the-job training. She especially enjoys developing her team, improving hospital operations, and creating positive experiences for clients and their pets. Savanah has earned her Certified Veterinary Business Leader certification and is working toward becoming a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager.

Outside of work, Savanah enjoys spending time with her husband, two boys, and their cats and dogs. She also loves reading, boating, fishing, swimming, visiting the beach, and simply being outdoors with her family.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in History and initially planned a different career path before discovering her true passion in veterinary medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Within six months, she transitioned into a veterinary assistant role and quickly realized she had found the career she was meant to pursue.
