Rachel grew up locally in Ossian and has lived in Fort Wayne since 2000. She started working in the veterinary field in 2005 and joined the Westside team in 2008. Rachel has three adult stepchildren, a teenage daughter, and a grandchild along with three dogs, a guinea pig and a leopard gecko. Outside of work, Rachel stays busy running her household and working on small art projects for herself or friends.

In addition to her duties as a receptionist, Rachel often assists the doctors with surgeries, radiographs and treatments alongside the technicians. Rachel is heavily involved with inventory management at Westside – not a small task in such a large, busy animal hospital! Rachel helps ensure that everything you may need for your pet is readily available or accessible.
