Sarah has been with Heritage Animal Hospital since July of 2017. She hired in as a receptionist for our south location. Soon after, she was promoted to Practice Manager.

Sarah has always had a love for animals. She started working after school at the Clay County Humane Society from age 11 to 17. After high school she attended Saint Mary of the Woods College where she doubled majored in Psychology and Criminal Justice. Upon graduation in 2011 she became a CADAC II certified substance abuse counselor and worked for Putnamville Correctional Facility in their in-patient CLIFF program. While at Putnamville she volunteered with the Prison Greyhound Program. After 3 years of substance abuse counseling she decided she really wanted to work with animals again. She found a position at Four Loving Paws Veterinary Services in Brazil, Indiana as an Office Manager.

Now Sarah has found her home here at HAH and we are elated to have her! In her spare time, she enjoys being outdoors, camping, fishing, and kayaking. She shares her home with an English Bulldog Betsy, 2 German Shepherd mixed pups Zayda & Zola, and 6 cats – Jinx Monsoon, Baby Kidden, Lil Ninja, Violet Meowski, Rudy and Greyson.

Destini was born in Branson, Missouri, where she developed an intense love of medicine early on in life. As she got older, her interest in biology started to blossom. Now, Destini gets to combine her love of medicine, her fascination with science, and her passion for pets as a Veterinary Assistant!

Destini graduated from Ivy Tech Community College with a degree in X-ray technology, then took a position here at Heritage Animal Hospital South as a receptionist. She began to work her way into the medical side of the clinic and has since become a Veterinary Assistant. Examining samples under the microscope is one of her favorite things to do, and she’s also fond of helping out with surgeries.

Olivia joined the Heritage family in December 2020 as a veterinary assistant. She absolutely loves going to work every day, and says it’s the best part of her week!!! Her favorite part about working at Heritage is that she gets to learn something new every day, whether it’s from a doctor, technician or a kennel assistant.

She has always had a love for taking care of others. She started in the nursing program at Ivy Tech, while working full time as a CNA. Although she loved the residents she took care of eventually she realized that profession was not for her. She still wanted to have a caring role in her career, so she chose to go with veterinary medicine. She grew up having a lot of animals, even some unusual ones. She is currently enrolled at Penn Foster to become an RVT and she is looking forward to a lifetime of working with animals!

Olivia shares her home with 2 dogs, Dexter & Theodore, 2 cats, Nugget & Harvey, a bird named Bo, a chameleon named Goggles, 2 geckos, Ricky & Lucy, 2 goats, Daisy & Charlotte and 18 chickens!!

One morning, Nicole heard a knock at her door. It was a girl with a puppy, who said she couldn’t keep the puppy. Nicole couldn’t turn her away—she ended up adopting her and bringing her here to Heritage Animal Hospital South for her first appointment. As fate would have it, Nicole ended up applying for a job and has been here ever since!

Originally from a small town in Indiana, Nicole started here at the hospital in August of 2011. Her favorite part of the job is the differences in animal personalities that she gets to witness firsthand.

In her free time, Nicole enjoys spending time with her husband, their son, and their dog Cheyenne. She also likes outdoor activities like fishing and camping.
