Tara has joined our team as a Veterinary Technician during her ninth year in the veterinary field. She brings countless amazing qualities to Hawk Ridge, but is most passionate about being hands-on in surgeries, as well as client education on routine care of their furry loved ones. In her free time, she loves spending time with her family, her 3 “doggos” Lilyn, Denver, and Naala, and her ever-growing plant collection. She also enjoys going to concerts, hiking, watching football and expressing herself through painting and drawing. She is so excited to work in a modern clinic, to learn and apply the new skills that it brings, and to get to know her new team.

She also has Regina, the 7 year old ball python, and most recently adopted a 1 year old tarantula.

She is looking forward to getting to work on all new, state of the art equipment at Hawk Ridge. She is also so excited to get to build relationships with the clients and her new work family.

She has worked in the veterinary industry for 35 years and brings so much skill, knowledge, and love for pets that is invaluable to our practice. Her hard-working spirit and dedication shines through with everything she does. She loves building great relationships with clients and pets alike, starting in the exam room. Her skill set extends to the treatment room where she takes great care of pets under anesthesia and works with the doctor to give patients the best care possible.

She is looking forward to being a part of making Hawk Ridge the best veterinary hospital to bring your pets!

Through her 8 years in the veterinary field, Josie has truly found what brings her joy and passion, and it is so evident once you meet her. She loves to educate clients about their pets’ health. Her favorite thing is how excited patients are to see their family when they are picked up, but a close second favorite is all those slobbery kisses. At home, she gets her slobbery kisses from her 4 dogs, Chloe, a puggle, who is her “old lady” at 14 years old, Riff Raff, the 10 year old miniature pinscher, who definitely lives up to his name, Odie the 3 year old pit bull who prefers to spend his time at home, Benji, the 2 year old bull terrier who is her “wild child”, and Trixie, the 6 year old calico kitty, who is the purrfect queen bee of the family. When she isn’t chasing around her fur children, family, and friends, she loves to be outside or in the water. She enjoys taking trips to the Lake of the Ozarks where she takes up boating and fishing. She is so excited about being a part of the very first team at Hawk Ridge and all the relationships that come with it!

Reaghan’s vibrant personality and dedication to her clients and patients make her a great addition to the Hawk Ridge family. She has worked in small animal practices for 3-4 years as both a Veterinary Assistant and Receptionist, however she feels she has had a lifelong calling for the veterinary industry. She has a deep passion for the technical aspects such as laboratory and surgical work, but loves getting to know clients and their furry friends. Her and her husband, Josh, are owned by their 4 cats, Felix, who is 6 years old, Greyson, who is 8 years old, and sisters Thelma and Louise, both 5 years old. She loves spending her time in the kitchen and often brings love in the form of calories into the clinic. She also enjoys board games, going for walks, and hiking. She is most looking forward to growing with her new coworkers and meeting all the new patients and their families that Hawk Ridge gets to serve!

Lisa is a kind-hearted, animal-loving soul who brings with her a decade’s worth of administrative experience and the ability to multitask that is nothing short of super hero status. She is incredibly passionate about animals that permeates through every aspect of her life. She has four fur babies at home: Max, the 6 year old scruffy terrier mix, Cosmo, a very handsome 6 year old Scottish Terrier, and two 1-year old tabby kitty brothers, Ricky and Bobby. She also spends much of her free time volunteering at an animal shelter’s kitty cottage! She loves taking Cosmo and Max on walks, but also hiking, crafting, tending to her garden, and teaching herself to play Ukulele! Lisa grew up in St. Charles County, so her heart is so ready to give back to the community and their pets. We are so grateful and excited to have Lisa as a part of our family!

Cate will be serving our patients from the front desk as a receptionist. Cate has been a receptionist in the veterinary industry for 12 years and brings so much experience and great ideas to our team. Through her top-tier organization skills and her giving spirit, she is great at making clients’ experience as efficient and enjoyable as possible. Her favorite part of her job is being the first line of communication between clients and our practice. She enjoys having conversations with our new clients and of course, getting to snuggle all of the dogs and cats she can. She has 2 cats at home: Stuart, the 11 year old mama’s boy and Phillip, the 7 year old “dog in a cat suit” who keeps his mom very busy chasing birds and causing antics. When she isn’t answering our phones or chasing her cats, she loves spending time with her family, particularly her 3 nieces. She also enjoys exploring the outdoors, riding her bike, fishing, attending baseball games, and doing her best to beat Cathey at yard games. She is so excited to work in a brand new hospital with our awesome team, and to meet all our new clients and their furry patients!
