Staci Downey
Practice Manager
Colleen is our new Practice Manager, who started at Winder Animal Hospital in May of 2022. She has been in the Pet industry for over 14 years but fell in love with veterinary medicine about 5 years ago when she started working as a technician. She strives to make a welcoming, comfortable, safe, and supportive environment for the patients, clients, and staff at WAH.
She has a quiet family life with a husband and 3 spoiled rotten fur kids at home. When she’s not at work, you can most likely find her trying to add more color to the world by tie-dying, painting, coloring in coloring books, or participating in other artistic outlets. You may also find her on a trail, kayaking, or taking a leisurely drive in her happy little car.
