Jen has always loved animals. She became a veterinary technician because it allowed her to be a voice for the voiceless and an advocate for those who can’t care for themselves.

Jen moved to Gainesville, GA after graduating from UGA. She spent 25 years in general practice before moving to specialty for eight more years. She returned to general practice here at All Animals to manage and share her knowledge of veterinary medicine with the other technicians.

Outside of the clinic, Jen lives with her wife, Jessica, and their two cats: Doodles and Sassafras.

Shy has always had a deep love for animals, but her journey into veterinary medicine wasn’t a straight path. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Miami, she spent her early years exploring the world around her, inspired by the trainers and marine biologists at SeaWorld. While she started out in retail, Shy quickly realized her true calling was in veterinary care. Once she discovered the world of veterinary technology, there was no turning back. She dove in headfirst, learning hands-on and developing a passion for both patient care and client education.

Shy’s veterinary career took off in Miami, but life soon brought her to Georgia, where she joined All Animals Veterinary Hospital as a technician in 2008. Over the nearly two decades since, she honed her skills at multiple hospitals, leading teams and guiding newer techs through everything from routine exams to life-saving C-sections. Though she eventually retired from her technician role, Shy’s love for the field never waned. When she saw an opportunity to return to All Animals as a customer service representative, she jumped at the chance.

At home, Shy’s life is just as full of love and energy. She and her husband share their home with their son and four rescue pets, including two boxers (Luna and Zeus), and two cats (Moo Moo and Freya). Outside of work, Shy is a creative soul, enjoying painting, wire-wrapping jewelry, and tending to her growing collection of succulents. She also loves traveling with her family, especially when it involves rockhounding for quartz crystals and exploring gem shows.

When Bryce Rogers was five years old, his mom gave him a toy vet kit. Most kids would have tossed it aside after a few days, but not Bryce. He was hooked. His stuffed animals became his patients, and his bedroom transformed into a mini animal hospital. That childhood fascination never faded—it only grew stronger.

Bryce spent much of his early life surrounded by animals, whether caring for pets at home or helping out on family friends’ farms. But it was a fifth-grade tour of the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine that truly lit the spark. Walking the halls of a veterinary school, seeing animals cared for with expertise and compassion, he realized veterinary medicine was his calling.

In December 2023, Bryce joined All Animals Veterinary Hospital while in his second year of college. He was looking for a place to gain hands-on experience, but found a team that shared his passion and a space where he could grow. Currently pursuing a degree in biology with a pre-vet track at the University of North Georgia, he plans to apply to veterinary school in the near future.

What Bryce loves most about his job is being there for the animals and their people. Whether he’s helping care for a nervous puppy or reassuring a concerned pet parent, he finds joy in making a difference. Building trust with clients and ensuring every pet gets the attention they deserve is what motivates him every day.

With both of his parents working at his high school, Bryce grew up surrounded by role models who emphasized dedication, integrity, and hard work. Raised in Toccoa, GA, Bryce was inspired by the work ethic of his parents and guided by dedicated teachers and mentors. Today, he’s still driven by that same childhood dream and the desire to care, learn, and grow.

Mia Morrison’s journey into veterinary medicine began like many others—surrounded by animals and filled with endless curiosity. But what set Mia apart early on was how deeply she felt a sense of responsibility for their well-being.

A pivotal moment came when one of her childhood dogs was diagnosed with cancer. Her family made the difficult decision to say goodbye at home, and that experience stuck with Mia. It was in that difficult moment that her calling became clear: she wanted to be someone who could not only treat animals, but also guide families through those stressful or painful experiences with compassion and clarity.

Now a pre-vet biology major at the University of North Georgia, Mia took the initiative to reach out to All Animals Veterinary Hospital in early 2024 in search of hands-on clinical experience. Her passion and drive stood out immediately, and she joined the team as a Veterinary Assistant that March.

Before stepping into this role, Mia worked as a kennel technician at a boarding facility, where her love for caring for animals deepened. But she wanted more—more knowledge, more responsibility, and more ways to directly impact animal health.

At home, Mia is kept on her toes by her dog Miso, a curious troublemaker, and Clover, her cat with a knack for claiming any open book or laptop. They are her daily reminders of why she’s chosen this path.

In every patient interaction, Mia brings empathy, enthusiasm, and a commitment to learning. For her, veterinary medicine isn’t just a career—it’s a lifelong mission.

Animals have always been a part of Layla’s life, from competing with them to having personal pets of her own. To say she loves and adores animals is an understatement, but the reason she chose a career in the veterinary field goes much deeper. Knowing she could play a hands-on role in helping animals live happier, healthier lives has helped Layla find her true purpose in life.

As soon as she was old enough, Layla began to pet sit. She landed her first official job at a horse farm, and then was able to start shadowing here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital before formally transitioning into the role of veterinary assistant. Professionally, she loves holding patients and learning new things. Her favorite part of the day is the afternoon, when she gets to play with the dogs in the kennel area.

Outside of work, Layla lives with her parents and sister. She has several pets, including two Beta fish (Swim Shady and Eclipse), an angel fish (MoonKight), nine crazy, food-driven chickens, and a cat named Sam who is a lazy bum. In her free time, Layla serves as a leading officer in the Dawson FFA chapter and is a youth leader at her church. She is also a National Honor Society inductee.

Zoey Martin’s passion for animals has been lifelong, spanning horses, cattle, bearded dragons, hamsters, and more. Raised riding horses and competing in rodeos, Zoey developed a deep bond with animals early in life. She trained and rode horses in barrel racing and other rodeo events, learning discipline, patience, and horsemanship that continue to inform her work with animals today. Zoey was also actively involved in the Future Farmers of America Organization (FFA), showing beef and dairy cattle in high school and gaining hands-on experience in animal care and husbandry. She later worked as an equine manager at a youth ranch for two years, further honing her skills with large animals.

She joined All Animals Veterinary Hospital in September 2025 after searching for a clinic that treats a variety of animals beyond dogs and cats. Today, she shares her home with her husband, two energetic dogs, and a vocal tabby cat, cherishing every moment with her lively family.

Zoey finds joy in working with pets that may be more challenging, knowing that careful handling and collaboration with clients can make veterinary visits less stressful and far more rewarding for everyone involved. Her career began in 2021 at a smaller clinic, where she learned animal handling and care in a boarding setting. She later moved to a larger clinic, starting again as a kennel technician before advancing to veterinary assistant. These experiences, combined with her ongoing education toward a veterinary technician license, have fueled her drive to continually grow in the field of veterinary medicine.

What Zoey enjoys most about her work is exploring the laboratory and cytology areas of veterinary medicine. She is fascinated by the variety of cell types, bacteria, and other elements she encounters, and she embraces the opportunity to deepen her understanding while learning from every species that comes through the clinic doors. Each day brings new challenges and new chances to build strong bonds with both pets and their owners.

Every pet parent who walks through the doors of All Animals Veterinary Hospital quickly sees what makes Kendall special. A skilled and compassionate veterinary technician, Kendall is the calm, reassuring presence that both pets and people gravitate toward.

Kendall’s journey into veterinary medicine began right after high school, when she took her first job at a clinic in Milton, Georgia. What started as a simple but powerful love of animals soon grew into something much deeper: a calling to help families keep their four-legged companions healthy and happy. Eager to learn more, she moved on to a clinic in Jasper, where she expanded her skills and experience before eventually finding her professional home at All Animals in September 2025.

For Kendall, every day is about caring for animals and showing them compassion and trust, but it’s also about connection, both with people and pets. She especially loves working in surgery, where she can give her patients undivided attention. She’s there from the moment they’re prepped to the time they wake up, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. “Surgery lets me focus completely on my patients,” she says. “It’s a chance to make a real difference in their recovery and quality of life.”

Outside the clinic, Kendall’s world revolves around her miniature Dachshund, Henry, a professional snuggler and couch enthusiast. After a long day, you’ll find the two of them curled up together, usually with Henry napping while Kendall recharges for another day of caring for her patients.

Kendall’s kindness, dedication, and gentle humor make her an essential part of the All Animals team. Whether she’s comforting a nervous pet parent or celebrating a patient’s recovery, she brings heart to everything she does. That is what makes her work so meaningful, and why she is such an integral part of our staff.

For Heather, veterinary medicine became personal long before it became a career. While she has always loved animals, it was the loss of her horse that changed the way she viewed animal health and inspired her to pursue a future in the veterinary field. Faced with questions about why her horse had passed away and what could have been done differently, Heather found herself wanting a deeper understanding of veterinary medicine. More importantly, she wanted to use that knowledge to help other animals live longer, healthier lives.

That experience continues to shape the way Heather approaches her work today. As a Veterinary Technician, she is driven by a desire to support the health and well-being of animals of all kinds while helping the people who care for them. She understands how strong the bond between people and their animals can be, and she values the opportunity to play a role in protecting that connection.

Heather is a recent graduate of Gwinnett Technical College, where she earned a degree in Applied Science with a focus in Veterinary Technology. As she begins her career, she is excited to continue learning, growing and expanding her skills while caring for a wide variety of patients.

One area of veterinary medicine that especially interests Heather is large animal care. She enjoys working with larger patients and appreciates the unique challenges and rewards that come with their treatment. She also has a special place in her heart for geriatric animals. Helping senior pets maintain their comfort, health and quality of life is particularly meaningful to her, and she values the opportunity to support both patients and their families during every stage of life.

For Heather, veterinary medicine is about more than treating illness. It is about understanding animals, helping them thrive and using her own experiences to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Every patient she meets serves as a reminder of why she chose this path and why she is proud to be part of the veterinary profession.
