Liz spent the majority of her professional career doing food safety and regulation in the meat industry.  It was not until she found her passion for horses, just a few years ago, that she shifted into the veterinary medicine field and has been with the Fredonia Vet Clinic since 2021.  It did not take long for her to realize that helping horses and their owners is what she wanted to spend every day doing.  Since this was very new to her, she focused a lot of her time and energy becoming educated on the species! Liz has since become certified in Equine Nutrition and Advanced Equine Training.  She is also a Certified Equine Behavior Specialist.   

In her spare time - you guessed it - she enjoys her horses!  Liz also enjoys backpacking, camping and spending time with her family.   Two horses, two dogs and two cats are definitely enough to keep her busy! 

Sara grew up right here in Fredonia and has lived in Ozaukee county most of her life. She graduated from Milwaukee Career College in 2014 with an Associate's Degree of Applied Science and has been working in veterinary medicine for 9 years. She doesn't have a distinct memory of when she decided to start this career but she has always felt a deep connection to animals big and small. She has been fortunate enough to have worked with a variety of animals including raccoons, opossums, squirrels, various birds, ducks, and rabbits, along with dogs and cats of course. 

Sara's goal in each interaction with our patients is to provide the best care possible in the least stressful way. Sara does have her Fear Free Certificate and likes the challenge of working with the variety of temperaments our animals have.

Candace’s desire to work with animals started before she was able to walk. She spent a large portion of her childhood accompanying her mom at a veterinary clinic that she has worked at for over 25 years. In 2017 Candace finally began working in the veterinary field & joined the Fredonia Veterinary Team in November 2021.  

Candace received her fear free certification while she worked in a small animal practice in Fort Mill, South Carolina and loves using her knowledge to make each visit for our patients as enjoyable as possible.

In her spare time, Candace enjoys spending time with her four dogs (3 Australian Shepherds & 1 Border Collie/Australian Shepherd Mix) and her (many) cats. She also loves working out, reading, painting, and spending time with family.
