Erin was born in Roanoke, VA, and grew up in Fairfax, VA. She moved to Cary in 2010. She graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Animal and Poultry Science. Her hobbies are reading, spending time outdoors, traveling, aquaculture, appreciating all things musical, gardening, and having marathon telephone conversations with friends and family. Her pets include two cats: Rasputin (Razzy) and Pocket, and a dog: Echo the Hobgoblin. Her favorite thing about veterinary medicine is things are rarely "textbook," requiring thinking outside the box and being creative. Erin loves the "top-notch" clients at Mayfair as well as the sense of community amongst the staff.

Jennifer was born in Florida, but moved around frequently growing up because her father was in the Navy.  She considers her “home” to be Syracuse, New York.  She graduated with a degree in Athletic Training from SUNY Cortland in 2000, and spent 7 years as a Certified Athletic Trainer.  She discovered that her true calling was to work with animals, so she went back to school in 2006 to Central Carolina Community College in the Veterinary Technician Program.  She is now a Registered Veterinary Technician. She is married with 2 dogs named Zoe and “B,” and a cat named Morgan.  She enjoys veterinary medicine because there’s never a dull moment and there’s always something new to learn!  She and her husband were blessed with their first baby girl, Aislynn Ciara, in August of 2009!

Lily is a true Raleigh native (GO WOLFPACK!). She began her professional career as a hairstylist, but after several years realized her passion and dream of caring for animals. She took this passion into Central Carolina
Community College, and obtained her degree in Veterinary Medical Technology. In her free time, Lily enjoys volunteering and participating in fundraisers to support local animal rescues. She also likes taking her little pup, Roxy, to the beach, and spending quality time with friends and family. Lily brings with her a slew of knowledge, a drive to learn, an eagerness to be involved, and an infectious sense of humor!

Mary graduated from Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia with a BA in History, and soon realized that the job market was not clamoring for history majors.

She enjoys all aspects of her job but has a special interest in hematology, cytology, client education and keeping the lab machines in running order. Mary is married with a wonderful son named Taylor. She shares her home with a Chihuahua mix named Pebbles and an orange tabby named Cheddar.

Nichole comes to work every day from a home filled with animals – she has two cats, two dogs and a chinchilla!
