LAURICE QUILLINGS- PRACTICE MANAGER
I bring 15+ years of healthcare leadership to my role as Practice Administrator (Practice Manager) at Windward Animal Hospital.

I believe in ethical leadership, sustainable impact, and serving our community with integrity, empathy, and purpose.
Alexa – Veterinary Technician
I’m from South Carolina, and I’ve always felt most at home around animals. My passion for caring for creatures big and small shines through in the compassion and skill I bring to each one I meet. Outside of work, I’m fascinated by sharks and marine life, which keeps me curious and inspired. At home, I spend my days with my two dogs, Beckett and Dillon, who fill my life with adventure and laughter.
Tiffany – Veterinary Technician
I’m originally from Long Island, New York, with a background in small animal veterinary medicine and a passion for exotics. My time as a zookeeper with exotic hoofstock led me to this hospital, where I continue to expand my skills. Outside of work, I enjoy music festivals, the outdoors, and baking, and I share my home with a rabbit, Taya, and two cats, Kyoshi and Matt Murdock.
Zoe – Veterinary Assistant
I was born and raised right here in Georgia, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Before I started working with exotics, I gained experience on a dairy farm and as a kennel technician, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care. When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me at home with my two cats, Fanta and Pepper — they’re my world!
Giovanni – Veterinary Assistant
I was born and raised in Texas and moved to Georgia in 2014. I have always loved animals since I was 5 years old and knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping animals feel better. I had many wonderful pets growing up such as Chihuahuas, Sugar bears, Bearded dragons and so much more!
Enjoli – Veterinary Assistant
I moved to Georgia in 2023 from Maryland (raised on the playground is where I spent most of my days). I have been working with animals since 2019; starting at a dog daycare then moving to shelter work and finally making my way to animal medicine. I am building upon my knowledge with exotics here at Windward.
John – Kennel Technician
I love see the varying animals that come through our doors. I am knowledgeable about the animals that we see and their wild counterparts. I love to play with the puppies and kittens whenever time allows. I dedicate my time to making sure the animals stay safe and are well cared for while at the clinic.
