  I have been in the veterinary business for 17 years.  I came to Charlotte from Atlanta in 1999 and have been with Commonwealth Animal Hospital since 2004.  In 2003, I graduated from Gaston College with high honors and a degree in Veterinary Medical Technology.  I am also a small mammal wildlife rehabilitator with a special interest in squirrels and opossums.  Look hard and you may see a rat in my hair!  You may occasionally see me 'strut the stage' at some of our local theaters and I am very proud of my nicknames:  "The Cat Whisperer" and "Morticia".

I have been at Commonwealth Animal Hospital since May '08.  I literally grew up in an animal hospital because both of my parents are veterinarians.  I have had animals all my life, the most recent being an adorable orange tabby and an awesome german shepherd!  I am currently a biology major at UNC-Charlotte and plan to pursue veterinary medicine.  I greatly appreciate the experience I am gaining by working here and getting to know all of you! Linda Woodmansee I have been at Commonwealth Animal Hospital since 2006 and have been working with animals for about 8 years; although my love for animals began at a very young age.  I enjoy petsitting on the side and spend most of my free time with my own furry family and playing in my flower garden. Jean I have been with the founders of Commonwealth Animal Hospital since April 1, 1996.  (April Fool's Day - appropriate, somehow!)  I have been in my field since Sept. '81.  No matter what 'job' I'm doing, I consider it my calling to make everybody happy!  I am a dedicated runner and I LOVE MY LIFE!!!  Running is the key...and answer...to everything in life!!! Meredith Ferguson I moved to the Charlotte area in 1999 to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Literature and Language at Winthrop University.  And I haven't moved out of Charlotte since!  I love this city.  Currently I am still attending Winthrop University, but now as a Master's student in Arts Administration.  My passions include any and all things arts related, meeting new people, spending time with my friends and family, hiking, traveling, and of course animals.  I have a ferret named Loki, two tuxedo cats named Pepper Anne and Chang, and the newest member of my furry family is a puppy named Parker.  I have worked three years in the veterinary field and proudly joined the Commonwealth family in October of 2009. Kennel Staff April Cleveland I originate and reside in Concord, NC.  I graduated from Northwest Cabarrus High School.  I have been with Commonwealth Animal Hospital since 2005 and now serve as Kennel Manager.  I enjoy working with animals.  I have 7 dogs and 2 birds of my own.  I have little free time, but when I do,  I find myself spending it with my family, playing softball, and riding horses.
