Sheila grew up in Bourbon, Missouri and has always loved animals. She turned that passion into a career after attending Jefferson College until her graduation with a degree in veterinary technology in 2007. She then passed the VTNE to become a Registered Veterinary Technician!  Sheila has worked in general practice and specialty emergency medicine over the years but is most passionate about general practice for the ability to build relationships and really get to know her patients and their families. She currently has 6 cats and 3 Chihuahuas at her home in Sullivan! In her time away from the hospital, she loves boating on the Meramec with family and reading suspense books.
