Lydia

Growing up on a farm in western North Carolina, Lydia has been surrounded by animals her entire life. Even from a very young age, she always had a soft spot for those who are vulnerable and unable to advocate for themselves. After watching a young calf struggle with disabilities, Lydia decided that from then on, she would do whatever she could to support animals and help them live their best lives. A career in the veterinary industry provided the perfect opportunity to do just that!

Lydia’s journey began right here at Tuscan Ridge Animal Hospital, at the age of 15. She started as a kennel attendant and worked her way up to the role of veterinary assistant. Clinically, Lydia enjoys working on complicated cases and feeling that sense of accomplishment that comes with getting to the root cause of a problem. She also loves building relationships with our clients and getting to know their furry family members on a more personal level.

Outside of the clinic, Lydia lives with her wonderful husband, Josh, and their sweet pups, Alister and Chip. When she’s not busy working, you will likely find Lydia spending time outside or managing her side-hustle photography business.
