Leslie
Office Manager
Born and raised in Denver, Colorado with one older brother and a single mom, Leslie learned first hand what hard work means. She graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a double major in Spanish and Biology, and a minor in Biochemistry.
Leslie moved up to Wyoming after graduation with now husband Bob, and they have made a life here in the Big Horn Basin. Together they raised two bright and enchanting daughters, Caitlyn and Gabrielle. Caitlyn graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2022 and is now working as a paralegal in Colorado. Gabrielle lives in Atlanta where she attends Emory University and performs in Emory Dance Company.
Leslie is an essential part of CVH. Her endless guidance, support, and expertise have made her a wonderful part of our team, and we don’t know what we’d do without her!
When she’s not at work you can probably find her in the saddle. Riding her horses is one of Leslie’s favorite ways to destress and soak in the beautiful countryside. She shares her love of raising Quarter Horses with her uncle, and mentor, Bruce.
Leslie also enjoys yoga with Meghan, fitness training with Lucas, keeping up with her Spanish literature, snuggling up with her two kitties and the family pup, listening to podcasts, or traveling the world.
Elizabeth
Repro Technician
Native to Wyoming, Elizabeth was born and raised in Greybull. These days she calls Cody home alongside her four legged pal, Buck.
Elizabeth has been involved with veterinary medicine since 2018, learning on the job with numerous instructors. She came to us in March of 2022 and we haven’t been the same since – in the best way! Elizabeth has quickly picked up new information and taken a leading roll on our veterinary technician team. She’s such a thoughtful, kind addition to our team, and she makes everyone around her better. We would be lost without her!
Elizabeth prefers to stay busy. When she isn’t helping with emergencies or pitching in to take care of her colleagues’ animals, Elizabeth can be found outdoors. She’s becoming an avid hunter and horseman, and she loves taking a ride in the side by side.
Emilie
Veterinary Technician/Lead Veterinary Nurse
Emilie is a Cody native, born and raised. She and her husband Josh now call Burlington home, and they have recently welcomed two handsome little boys into their family: True in 2022 and Myles in 2024! Their family also consists of a huge herd of animals ranging from cats to pups to horses. They truly can’t say “no” to an animal in need.
Emilie received her Associate’s degree as a Veterinary Assistant prior to joining our team in 2019, and she’s now working on a second degree to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. Not stopping there, Emilie plans to pursue Animal Physical Therapy as soon as she has that second degree under her belt. Emilie is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping animals and people alike. She’s a wonderful member of our team, and we’re so grateful we get to spend our days working alongside her.
Always eager to try something new, Emilie is learning to rawhide braid, and she’s working on eventually making bosals, which are a beautiful piece of western tack. In her spare time, Emilie loves haring her love of horses with the men in her life: Josh, True, and little Myles.
Jackie

Jackie, originally from Glenwood, Maryland, has been residing in Cody for five years. She joined CVH in November 2024 and is married with three young sons. In 2014, Jackie earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Frostburg State University and obtained a Veterinary Assistant Certificate from San Juan College in 2018. She loves her kitties, her bull mastiff named Murdock, and a leopard gecko. Jackie aims to further her education to become a cat behaviorist.

Jackie has quickly become our next surgical nurse and we are thrilled to have her on our team!
Savannah
Flex Technician
Savannah comes to us from the sunny state of Florida where she grew up with a love for all animals. Being a Florida native, she holds true to her roots and still calls the gator her favorite! She has been riding horses since she was 10 through rodeo and ranch riding. She now has a small herd of her own that includes three dogs, a kitty or two, a bird named Phoebe, and a horse named Snipper.
Savannah has been in the veterinary industry since 2018. After deciding she was ready for a new challenge, she jumped on a plane and joined Cody Vet Hospital to learn about the world of rural, mixed animal practice. Savannah has already proven to be an invaluable addition with her expertise and eagerness to jump in, and we are thrilled to have her here for her next adventure.
In her free time, Savannah is enjoying the slower paced lifestyle Wyoming offers and the beautiful mountains that surround us. You can often find her spending her time with a good book, camping, cooking, crafting, paddle boarding, and traveling.
Allie
Veterinary Assistant
Allie grew up in Maryland with 4 brothers, sandwiched in the middle like the best part of an Oreo, she gained plenty of life skills. She attended West Virginia University, pursuing a degree in Agriculture, and has been working as an educator since 2018, biding her time until she found employment with a veterinary clinic.
Allie has an extensive background raising cattle, training and showing horses, giving riding lessons, livestock judging, 4H, and FFA participation.
She enjoys riding her horses, playing with her dogs, hiking, hunting, singing, baking, and enjoying the little moments and mountain views.
Allie joined our team this January and has proven to be super handy at all the tasks and challenges of a veterinary hospital. We are truly lucky she chose Cody, Wyoming, as her home.
Erin
Social Media Manager
Erin, another of our international gals, was born and raised in Manitoba, Canada. She moved to the States in 2002, then to Wyoming in 2008. She and her husband Mike have three fur babies: Finn and Shay, the two resident pups, and their equine partner Cady.
By trade, Erin is a massage therapist and practiced in Cody for many years. She decided to switch up her career from helping people to helping animals, and she’s enthusiastically taken on the new challenge.
Erin joined the CVH crew in 2022 where she’s been training as a veterinary technician. We are extremely lucky that Erin decided to make the jump to a new career and land with our team. She has allowed us to showcase our daily wins at CVH on our social media, and she gives our patients the best care. Erin is efficient and sees the big picture, which has made each of us and the care we provide better.
On a day off, you will probably find Erin working diligently on her very own small business Wyld Sisters! Erin creates wonderfully whimsical (and very smart) equine competition shirt designs that our team loves. Erin also likes to practice interior decorating and work with plants and flowers. Her creative spark doesn’t end there because Erin sings as well – the complete artistic package!
