About Nicole
“Nic”
Nic grew up in Fayetteville, GA. She began her career in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant in 2013. She obtained her Associates degree in Veterinary Technology from Athens Technical College, graduating with honors, in 2020. Nicole has always had a soft spot for senior pets. This, along with her interest in chronic disease led her to pursue a position in Internal Medicine. While she will always love medicine, she wanted to serve her patients and their caregivers in a different, but meaningful, way. She is currently Fear Free certified and pursuing her Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Technician certification through the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC).
“I am drawn to hospice and palliative care because of its focus on patient comfort and caregiver support.”
