Hello, I'm Liz and I have been a part of the Conley and Koontz Equine Hospital team for 2 years now as a Vet Assistant as well as a training director, and just recently, the Vet Technician/ Assistant team manager! My roles include but are not limited to, helping take care of the patients in the hospital and on the road, helping to train our team, and overseeing the techs and assistants!

Personal Hobbies and Interests

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and our animals. As a family we have horses, dogs, and cats!

Favorite Part of My Job

My favorite part of my job is patient car. I love being able to see the patients get better and see them go home healthy! One thing I enjoy most is the recovery process of the patients and seeing coworkers learn and grow in their position! 

Why I Chose This Profession

My love for animals and being outdoors is the reason I decided to pursue this profession. I've always known that I wanted to work with animals and when the opportunity came up I couldn't pass it down!

Work History

When I was in High School, I started volunteering at Camp Red Cedar. If you don't know what that is, It is a camp that specializes in recreational therapy, equine assisted learning, and summer camps! There, I was just a barn hand, so I got to turn the horses in and out, cleaned stalls, helped with recreational therapy lessons, everyday horse and barn care, and I helped with summer camps!
