Our Careteam

Holly is a Georgia native, and studied biology in school before moving to Hiram in 2015. She began working at a local PetSmart, allowing her to gain hands-on experience in the world of pet care, and then began to look for an opportunity in the veterinary field. Holly was thrilled to join The Ark Animal Hospital’s care team in December of 2018—she loves the way the fast-paced clinic environment keeps her on her toes, and her favorite part of the job is meeting new pets and animal owners every single day.

Holly’s interests outside of work include playing softball—she’s played for more than 12 years and has met some of her very best friends through her passion!—and spending time with her own pets at home. She has two cats: Willow, a rambunctious kitten who insists on sleeping on top of Holly every night; and Sage, whose favorite pastime is napping.

Originally from Paulding County, Angel previously worked in a childcare center before entering the field of veterinary medicine. She heard from The Ark Animal Hospital’s very own Judy that a position had opened here at the clinic—Angel didn’t waste any time. It was only a few weeks later that she was hired on as a member of the hospital family! She’s been here since 2005 and now serves as the reception staff’s Team Leader. Angel especially likes helping to bring new puppies and kittens into the world, and she’s passionate about keeping things in order behind the scenes to help the hospital run smoothly day in and day out.

Angel enjoys spending her free time away from the office reading great books and spending time with her family and dog at home. She and her husband, Chris, have two wonderful daughters named Abby and Carly, and the family shares their lives with Skye the German Shepherd.

Harriett has worked here at the hospital since 2001, when she first started bringing her own pets to see Dr. Bowen. She’s been a member of the clinic family ever since! Harriett’s favorite part of the job is interacting one-on-one with clients who visit the hospital.

At home, Harriett and her family live with a few pets of their own. She shares her life with an adorable Pitbull, Coleman, as well as two Yorkies named Brody and Lucy Cole.

Becca attended Bowling Green State University to study biology, launching her veterinary career at the same time by signing on as a Kennel Technician at a nearby animal hospital. By the time she received her degree, she was working as a full-time Veterinary Technician. Becca moved from Ohio to Georgia in the fall of 2016, and joined The Ark Animal Hospital family as a Veterinary Assistant early the following year.

Around the clinic, Becca likes working hands-on with pets and particularly enjoys the treatment and surgery aspect of the job. Most of all, she loves to see the results of her hard work in the form of a happy, healthy animal companion!

When she isn’t caring for pets here at the hospital, Becca can be found spending time at home with her beautiful young daughter.

Lanette is originally from Mableton and began her animal-care journey just out of high school at a clinic in Powder Springs. She’s been caring for pets professionally ever since—in total, Lanette has served as a Veterinary Technician for nearly 30 years! She joined The Ark Animal Hospital family in December of 2012.

When time permits away from work, Lanette enjoys camping and hiking in the great outdoors and spending quality time with her family. She and her teenaged son share their lives with two dogs, a cat, and three pet birds.

Kristy is a Georgia native and began her career at a local pet supply store 16 years ago. Through her work there, she was able to attend grooming school and receive her professional certifications. Now, she’s a proud member of The Ark Animal Hospital family and particularly loves meeting new clientele—four-and two-legged!—on a daily basis.
