Linda has always had a passion for animals and earned her Registered Technician degree from Gaston College in 1999. She gets her love of nature from her grandfather. Known as the “cat whisperer,” she does everything possible to ensure our feline patients are comfortable. She is an experienced dental and surgical technician who enjoys helping our furry patients in the exam room. Linda has six cats (ages 3 years to 17) and lives in Iron Station with her husband, whom she met while volunteering at the Carolina Raptor Center 30+ years ago. On their days off they enjoy hiking, photography, gardening, and canoeing. She currently volunteers for Meals on Wheels.
