MEET THE STAFF

Adrienne - Adrienne graduated from U of I Champaign-Urbana with a bachelor's degree in animal science. She was involved in the pre-vet club and enjoyed being an officer in the companion animals club. After graduation she worked in medical research for two years and realized that she missed working with companion animals. She has since found her place at Jewell Animal Hospital.

Amy - Amy graduated from Bel-Rea Institute of Veterinary Technology in 2003. She worked as an ICU technician at an emergency hospital for 5 years before joining the team at Jewell Animal Hospital. Amy enjoys spending time with her three dogs, two rabbits, and one bearded dragon.

Sarah - Sarah graduated from the Vet Tech Institute at Fox College in March 2009 and is a Certified Veterinary Technician. She enjoys spending time with her husband, dog Aurora, and 3 cats; Connor, Coltrane, and Lil’ Mama. She is thrilled to have found her calling by working with animals and so happy to be part of the Jewell Animal Hospital team!

Saxby - Saxby has been promoted to Hospital Supervisor after Ms. Thang's recent retirement. He originally took the position as her research assistant when he was a young kitten, interested in being part of the exciting world of veterinary science. Ms. Thang has taught Saxby the ways of the veterinary world and he is always ready to lend a helping paw. Saxby plays an integral role in almost everything that happens at Jewell Animal Hospital. His major duties include greeting, scale testing (pictured left), food tasting, and playing the "Patch Adams" to all of our hospitalized pets. His major research contribution is an ongoing project to determine which clinic items make the best cat toys. In his spare time he enjoys most extreme sports, including base jumping, sky diving, rock climbing, and his favorite, rugby. It's a good thing he's got access to the finest veterinary care in Chicago!
