Jesse Carr
I received my associates degree in veterinary technology in 2005, and became licensed in the state of Kentucky the following year. I have worked in several small animal clinics and shelters over the years. I joined the NRAH family in 2017 as one of their surgical technicians. This is my favorite aspect of veterinary medicine. In my time away from work I love going on trail rides, taking care of my dogs/cats/ horses and just being on the farm.

Aviva Buckey
Originally from California, I’ve spent a little over half my life in Kentucky. I’ve always had a huge passion for animals, from walking dogs with my sister when we were kids to working at dog daycare facilities for 5 years. I enjoy hiking, camping, and rollerblading in my free time!

Shianne Nickerson
I moved to Lexington, KY in June of 2020. I previously lived in Michigan in a little town at the tip of the Thumb. I have wanted to be in the veterinary field for as long as I can remember. When everyone said they wanted to be a princess or a firefighter my answer was always veterinarian. When I’m not tending to your animals, I am most likely cuddling with my two cats, Delilah and Ginger, or spending time with family and friends. I love hiking and messing around with my camera, but don’t get me wrong I love just relaxing on the couch and watching a good movie or reading a good book.

Beth Holcomb
Veterinary Technician
I grew up in rural northwestern NJ. My love for horses led me to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Equine Science. Shortly after graduating, my husband and I moved to Southern California where I transitioned into small animal medicine and became a Licensed Technician. In 2018 we moved to Kentucky after falling in love with its beauty and wonderful 4 seasons. In my spare time, I like to dabble in photography, collect Breyer horses, do agility with my dog, or just snuggle on the couch with my 3 cats.
