Julie

Julie

Client Care Supervisor

Julie used to work for a school district, and had the summers free once the spring semester ended. One summer, she decided to get a job at a veterinary hospital and fell in love with the profession right away! She’s been a part of the Fairfield Animal Hospital family since 2007.

A Houston native, Julie attended school to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician and then began her career in veterinary medicine immediately afterward. After nearly 15 years of working as a Tech, she decided it was time for a change, but had no desire to leave the pets and clientele that she’d come to know and love. That’s when Julie became a receptionist to best serve the pets and animal owners of the area.

Julie and her husband have been married for over 20 years, and have two sons and a daughter. They currently live with seven dachshunds and a dachshund mix, Brandee, who isn’t told she’s not a full-blooded dachshund so as not to hurt her feelings. When Julie’s daughter whispered to Brandee that she wasn’t a purebred, Brandee’s response was a short, menacing growl!

In her spare time, Julie enjoys being outdoors and spending time in her garden; she has a special fondness for planting orchids.

Brianna

Brianna

Client Care Representative

Growing up in the country, Bri was no stranger to animals. She remembers starting horseback riding lessons at a young age and not only falling in love with the horses but developing an even deeper love for the many different barn cats. She got her first pet at age seven, a massive Great Dane that she named Zoey. The two quickly became best friends and to this day, Bri considers Zoey her inspiration and the reason she has such a passion for animal care.

A natural caretaker, seeing an animal in need and being able to put them and their owner at ease is what brings Bri the most joy and fulfillment. While doing her clinicals in high school, Bri had the option to shadow anywhere, including human doctor’s offices but fell in love with the vet clinics. As one of the CCRs here at Fairfield, Bri’s favorite part of the job is building relationships with patients and clients. She also enjoys greeting all the fur-babies who come in and showering them with pets, kisses, and treats!

At home, Bri has two ginormous Calicos: Rue and Sadie. Sadie is the definition of lazy and does not leave her three assigned spots in the house. Rue’s favorite activity is pouncing on Bri in the middle of the night, and her favorite spot in the house is on Bri’s shoulders. In her free time, Bri enjoys reading, going out to eat with her, chef boyfriend, enjoying amazing food, and catching up on her favorite TV shows.

 

Jennifer

Jennifer

Lead Veterinary Technician

Ever since she can remember, Jennifer has wanted to spend her time helping animals in need. The love that she feels when she helps an animal in need makes it all worth it!

Jennifer was born in Puerto Rico but grew up in Virginia Beach. She started here at Fairfield Animal Hospital in the fall of 2002, only a year after Dr. Hicks opened the clinic. Jennifer confirmed that she’d found her true calling a year later, when she helped perform a C-section on a Golden retriever. As she was handed puppy after puppy to stimulate their breathing, she knew she was doing what she was meant to do.

Outside of her interests in the veterinary world, Jennifer prefers to stay active in the outdoors by mountain biking, camping, and going to the beach. She takes part in a lot of runs, obstacles courses, and mud challenge races—the act of pushing herself physically and getting dirty is quite a thrill!

At home, Jennifer lives with her wonderful son and daughter, as well as a pair of cats named Mork and Mindy. Mork is Mr. Personality and always wants to be right alongside Jennifer, while Mindy prefers to lay low and watch from a distance.

Kayla

Kayla

Veterinary Technician

Ever since Kayla was a little girl, she’s had a deep passion for working with animals. Yes, she loves animals, but she chose a career in the veterinary field because it would allow her to be a voice for the voiceless. As a veterinary technician, Kayla loves her job, and strives to be someone that clients trust, and that patients look forward to seeing.

Kayla’s journey began at age 15, when she landed a job at a local pet resort in Cypress, TX. She then moved on to an animal hospital in Lubbock, where she gained experience while attending Texas Tech. Upon graduating in 2022 with her animal science degree, Kayla moved back home and joined the Fairfield Animal Hospital team. In the future, she plans to attend veterinary school and earn her DVM.

Outside of the clinic, Kayla has two dogs of her own. Cooper is a miniature Australian shepherd who loves being outdoors, swimming and chasing the neighbors’ dogs through the fence. Cowboy (a.k.a. Beanie Weenie or Mr. Ween) is a miniature dachshund who loves toys and cuddling with Kayla. When she’s not busy working, Kayla enjoys hanging out with friends, playing with the pups, and going dancing.

Lauren

Lauren

Veterinary Technician

As a baby, Lauren’s first word was ‘dog’, and ever since then she’s had her eyes set on the veterinary field. Her entire childhood was spent surrounded by animals, from snakes, lizards, and geckos, to rodents, cats, dogs, and more. In 2013, Lauren’s father became licensed to pursue wildlife rehabilitation. The joy of releasing countless possums, squirrels, and ducks back into the wild only further strengthened Lauren’s passion for animal care.

Lauren’s journey began right here at Fairfield Animal Hospital, where she worked as an assistant during her senior year of high school. In 2020, Lauren moved to Huntsville to attend college. While there, she worked at two other clinics, honing her technician skills and learning about other fundamental aspects of veterinary medicine. Lauren moved back to Cypress in 2023 and returned to Fairfield, where she was welcomed back with open arms!

When Lauren’s father sadly passed away in 2023, Lauren took over the care of his senior labrador retriever, Lily. Knowing she was on borrowed time, Lauren did everything in her power to make sure Lily was comfortable and is grateful for every moment they had together before she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in October of 2024. Today, Lauren credits Lily and her father as the driving force behind her passion for advocating for animals and educating their owners.

Lisi studied animal science at Texas State University and worked as an intern during her summers at various deer-breeding facilities, where she cared for whitetail deer and various exotic animals.

Lisi became a Veterinary Assistant here at Fairfield Animal Hospital in the summer of 2019, and trained on-the-job to become a Tech. She’s been tending to pets in that capacity ever since!

Outside of work, Lisi enjoys hiking, hunting, and fishing in the great outdoors, practicing her archery skills, baking, gardening, and dog training.

Natasha

Veterinary Technician

Natasha has been drawn to animal care her entire life. She’s always been the person to root for the spider in the corner who is just trying to survive. The more time she spent with the earth’s creatures, the more she knew that it was something she wanted to do for the rest of her life. That’s why Natasha dedicated herself to animal care! She helps pets and their owners on a daily basis as a Veterinary Technician.

Natasha was born in Katy, Texas and raised here in Cypress. She launched her journey in pet care by helping to groom the resident Australian Shepherds at a large horse-boarding facility, which led her to a position as a Kennel Assistant for another local hospital in 2001. She worked her way up to the position of Kennel Manager before becoming a Veterinary Technician to care for the area’s pets in an even more hands-on way. Natasha would stay there for the next 17 years!

When the time came for a change, Natasha joined the Fairfield Animal Hospital family in June of 2019. She’s fond of critical care cases and surgical procedures, as the fast-paced nature keeps her on her toes. She also loves to learn new things through everything she does—after many years in the field, Natasha finds that there’s always room for growth.

Cat grew up in Houston with her mother and twin sister. She was the girl that was always outdoors playing sports and enjoying nature. She was also the one bringing home lost or stray dogs and caring for them. Cat realized early on that she wanted to work in the veterinary field. Her passion for animals has only strengthened over the years!

Cat’s journey began in 2005 as a veterinary receptionist, but she quickly began cross-training and worked her way up to the role of technician.

Jessica

Jessica

Veterinary Assistant

One of Jessica’s favorite things to do while growing up was play with the family dog—she’s never taken for granted the unconditional love and loyalty that our animal friends give us. She’s always wanted to expand her own knowledge in order to help all of the pets she possibly could! As one of Fairfield Animal Hospital’s Veterinary Assistants, Jessica is able to do just that every day.

Jessica was born in Houston and moved to Cypress with her family at a young age. She’s been here ever since!

When Jessica’s kids started school, she decided to return to doing what she loves: helping the area’s pets and animal owners live the best lives possible. She rejoined the clinic family in 2018 and serves as a Veterinary Assistant.

Away from work, Jessica enjoys running 5Ks and 10Ks with her sisters and spending quality time with her family. She and her husband have four daughters, and stay quite busy between the girls’ various games, tournaments, and competitions in soccer and gymnastics. The family also shares their lives with two loveable dogs, Roscoe and Marley.

Growing up in Waller, TX, Lejavian spent the majority of his time on the farm, working with the livestock. A few years ago, his dog, Finley, succumbed to medical issues that had progressed past the point of treatment. The heartbreaking experience made Lejavian vow to learn more so he could spot things sooner and help his pets, and the pets of others, enjoy longer, healthier lives.

Lejavian attended Pima Medical Institute to become veterinary assistant and completed his internship right here at Fairfield Animal Hospital. He was officially hired shortly thereafter, in March of 2024. Professionally, Lejavian has a special interest in dentistry.

Sarah

Sarah

Veterinary Assistant

Looking back, Sarah always knew she wanted to work with animals. As she got older, she initially chose to pursue a different passion: music. It didn’t take long, however, for Sarah to realize that it was animals that truly were her calling. Once she decided to follow her heart, Sarah finally felt a sense of purpose in her life. That purpose shines through in every interaction she has with a patient!

Prior to joining Fairfield Animal Hospital, Sarah spent a year working at a local pet store, but she found herself longing to learn more about the medical side of things. After applying to almost every clinic in town, she finally got her big break in February of 2024. Professionally, Sarah enjoys observing surgery and feeding her unquenchable thirst for knowledge. The next step in her journey is to become a technician.

At home, Sarah has a multitude of her own pets, including six cats, a bird, and a tortoise. Talkative Monty and grumpy Momo are tabbies from the same litter. Molly is a fluffy, pampered princess. Ginger is a goofy girl with an affinity for stuffed animals. Then there are the newest additions to the family: siblings Daisy and Lotus. Every day when Sarah arrives home from work, she says, “come here kitties” and they all come to greet her!

In addition to Sarah’s passion for animals, she’s also quite artistic. She loves arts and crafts and does a lot of drawing in her free time. She also continues to play violin as a hobby, volunteering as a member of the local college orchestra.
