Meet Our Client Patient Coordinators

EVC team member since April 2024. Her coworkers describe her as empathetic, kind, and thorough.

Colleen started in veterinary medicine in high school at her local clinic. She soon realized it was her passion. She worked in emergency medicine for about six years before coming to EVC. She spent about two years in the Utah desert working at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where she cultivated her love for pets, especially cats, with special needs and chronic conditions. After taking on a hospice foster cat who changed her life, Colleen’s dream is to create a sanctuary for elderly cats and those with disabilities where they can live their life to the fullest.

EVC team member since May 2025. Ashley’s coworkers describe her as witty, outgoing, and resilient.

Ashley realized she wanted to be in veterinary medicine at age 3, inspired by her love for her family’s dog. While in college at Grand Valley State University, she started working at Camp Bow Wow in Hudsonville, which confirmed she wanted to work with dogs full-time. She graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biology and then started at a veterinary clinic in Byron Center. She soon started a Master’s program for Applied Animal Welfare and Behavior after developing a love for training. She’d like to one day work with reactive dogs to overcome their triggers and train therapy/service dogs.

Taylor began her career in veterinary medicine in her hometown while in her early twenties. There, she discovered her passion for working with all types of animals. She has experience caring for various species, including exotic animals like tigers and monkeys! After almost 2 years in veterinary medicine, she pursued another passion and became a hairstylist, specializing in vivid and creative hair color. While she loves the creativity that comes with hairstyling, her love for animals has always remained an important part of her identity.

Outside of work, she’s an avid fish keeper and enjoys spending time with all her pets, including a particular interest in creating and maintaining unique aquatic environments. She’s excited to bring her veterinary experience, love for animals, and passion for learning to the EVC team!

Megan began working in human medicine as a high schooler. She never considered vet med until she took in a pregnant stray cat! After helping her have her kittens, she knew vet med was where she wanted to be. She’s had cats her whole life and loves being around animals. Currently, she’s in school working towards becoming a Veterinary Technician. She would love to one day work with wildlife and exotics if given the chance!

Bio coming soon!
