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.
VERRON – Director of Marketing & Operations
As the Director of Marketing & Operations at Windward Animal Hospital, I have had the privilege of watching our clinic grow and thrive over the years. From creating our website and managing social media to assisting in employee hiring before we welcomed our Hospital Administrator, I’ve done my part as a remote worker to support the clinic’s success. My role focuses on keeping clients connected and informed while helping ensure smooth operations behind the scenes.
