She is active in Greyhound adoption. Michelle is one of fewer than 150 Certified Veterinary Practice Managers (CVPM) in the U.S. and Canada, which requires several years experience in hospital management, an intensive testing protocol and continuing education. She is currently the president of the Metroplex

As East Lake's practice manager, Michelle oversees our personnel department, develops hospital and business standards, establishes client programs, and anything else we can throw at her. Michelle is the proud mom of Chi and Miranda, her beloved Greyhounds, and Sir Lancelot, her rescued cat that rules her home. When not at East Lake, she enjoys camping, biking, stained glass, and reading. If you have any comments or suggestions regarding East Lake, Michelle would love to hear from you!
