Holly was born and raised in Bourne, MA and joined the OAH team in August of 2022. She began her journey in veterinary medicine working at VCA South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, MA as a kennel attendant and veterinary assistant. From a young age, Holly’s passion for animals was evident and she spent much of her time horseback riding and caring for her family’s felines. Now Holly is a proud mother to a young daughter and two precious feline fur babies named Juniper and Phoenix. In her free time, she enjoys writing poetry, playing guitar, hiking the scenic state parks of Cape Cod, and lounging peacefully by the coast. She truly enjoys caring for all species and feels honored to take on the responsibility of speaking for those who do not have a voice of their own. Holly is grateful to have found the team at Oceanside and is very excited to continue to grow and learn as a technician.
