Meet Our Staff

A native of Germany, I moved to the United States in 1994, following my husband Shane who is from Georgia (those Georgia boys will sweep you off your feet!).  Veterinary medicine is my second career and I feel that it is my calling.  I finished my undergraduate studies at the University of North Georgia in 2004 with a B.S. in biology.  I studied veterinary medicine at the University of Georgia and graduated in 2009.  Since then I have been working in private practice and started working for Barrow Veterinary Hospital in 2015 as a relief veterinarian.

I live in Winder with my husband Shane and our dogs Stanley and Copper (our special needs wheelchair dog), and our cat Ygritte Firecracker.  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, jeeping, hiking, playing guitar, and swimming.

I feel privileged to have had the chance to work alongside Dr. Powers for the past several years.  The staff at Barrow Veterinary Hospital and I will continue serving the community as Dr. Powers has done for so many years.

Alicia enjoy’s working with pets everyday and helping the clinic serve all of our clients. In her down time she equally enjoys her own dog, hiking, and spending time with her family. Alicia
is looking forward to continuing her education in the medical field.

Tayler enjoys an active family life with her son and husband. She looks forward to learning
new ways to help pets and grow with Barrow Veterinary Hospital. Tayler is always here helping our
clients and making the hospital a friendlier place for everyone.

Amanda is the grateful servant to her two Kitty’s at home and is just as dedicated to our pets at the hospital. She looks forward to continuing her medical knowledge and career in the veterinary field.

Leigh has enjoyed working in Animal medicine since 2000 and is very excited to be part
of the Barrow Veterinary Hosp. family. She has a very large animal family with her husband, works with wildlife, and loves all outdoors activities. Leigh looks forward to many years of service to our clinic & community.
