Sheila, Office Manager
Sheila moved to Illinois from Texas in 2000,
and has been with AHOW since 2004. She has over 20 years experience in
various administrative fields and has always adored animals, so she now has
the best of both worlds everyday. The challenges of managing an animal
hospital and the ability to meet new people and animals make her days
rewarding . She is owned by 3 cats, Max, Zoe and Zeus and has adopted
herself out to many friends’ dogs. When not working, you can usually find
her buried in a book, learning Woodstock’s history, trying new recipes or
exploring Chicago.

Elizabeth, Receptionist
I grew up in Peoria, Illinois, married my high
school sweetheart, and have 3 grown children. We moved to Woodstock 13
years ago. I've worked in medical offices for many years and being an
animal lover all my life, my job here at Animal Hospital of Woodstock is
perfect for me. I get to interact with people AND their pets and appreciate
the important role pets play in our lives.
I have 2 happy golden retrievers, Tula and Gwen. Photography is my
favorite way to spend my free time, so now that my kids are gone, my dogs
get to smile for my camera."
