Speaking Engagements
Sheila has spent over 27 years working in a multitude of areas in clinical veterinary practice. Starting as a veterinary assistant in a mixed animal practice to becoming a certified veterinary technician and later the key Chief Operating Office for a very large equine specialty hospital and ambulatory service, you could say that she has seen it all.
In 2018 we drafted Sheila into Team Oculus and she provides a unique operational perspective to her clients in a new found role as the boots on the ground player driving the implementation of projects and helping to streamline business operations. In essence, she is the eyes and ears of Oculus equipped with twenty-seven years of experience and intuition. If Sheila has a Super Power, it is common sense, and the ability to see through the scatter and find the straightest line to a clinic’s goals. Her greatest reward in practice is earning a client’s trust. Keeping that trust is the highest motivation and responsibility in business…and in life. Inventory management, support staff training/scheduling, and a focus on daily operational efficiencies and workflow are her forte'.
Sheila grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and cattle waking early to ride her pony around her hundred-acre-family farm by the age of 5. Married to an exceptional mixed animal practitioner, she is always around the business and is a huge asset to the Oculus Team. You could say her work ethic and passion for the health and well-being of animals is a product of nature and nurture.
