Sarah, Assistant

I’ve been working with animals since I started my first job as a teenager at a boarding and grooming facility.

My passion for helping pets brought me to veterinary medicine and Cole Veterinary Hospital in January 2016. When I’m not at work, you can find me grooming dogs or hanging out with my husband and our beautiful children.

My love for animals and fascination with science has led me to work with veterinarians in the Saginaw area for over 20 years. In addition, I have worked at a pet store and was a docent for the Saginaw Children’s Zoo for 7 years. When I joined the Cole Vet team in 1999, I quickly found an extended family. My home has always been filled with an assortment of critters. Currently, I have a dog, a cat and 2 human children.

Canned food & treats are the way to her heart.
