Caitlyn
Veterinary Assistant
Ever since I was in 3rd grade I knew I wanted a career working with animals. This passion obviously followed me past my career, and into my house, where I currently live with a menagerie of animals including, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 chinchillas, and around 20+ reptiles and amphibians. In 2016 I graduated with my biology degree from Iowa State University and began looking for my dream job. I worked several different animal-related jobs throughout college, and after, until I began working as a veterinary assistant in Kansas City in 2018. I found it was the perfect fit, allowing me to combine my passion for animal care, science/research, and teaching all into one career. Upon moving to Tennessee, in December 2019, I wanted to find a clinic that shared my same views on treating animals and clients with love and respect. I began working for LUV clinic in October 2020 and believe I have found a wonderful work family, where we all share the same beliefs and goals.

Zamara
Veterinary Technician
I’m Z, I graduated from the Veterinary Technician program at Vol- State and passed the VTNE in 2020. My passion for animals, medicine, and science is what led me to the Veterinary Field. I love utilizing Fear Free techniques every chance I get! Singing, dancing, and being the goofy energy at LUV is my specialty but outside of the clinic I’m usually making memories with my daughter and hanging with family and friends.
Mya
Veterinary Technician
Heyyy, I’m Mya! My animal family includes an energetic dog and a spunky guinea pig. My goal as a little girl was to help and love all of the animals that I could so I am determined to keep reaching that goal. I graduated in 2020 from Howard University with my B.S. in Biology and Chemistry ready to take the veterinary world by storm! As I moved back to Nashville late 2020, I began working in the veterinary field and I started working at LUV Clinic in 2022. There is nothing more rewarding than finding a work family with the same aspirations and beliefs as you. I am grateful for the family and love that I have here.
