Taylor Nicole

In her own words, “I’ve always said saving animals is in my blood as my mom worked at the local SPCA when she found out she was pregnant with me. I grew up between upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania. Most of my adult life I’ve worked at either a shelter/rescue or a veterinary office. I met my wonderful fiancé 3 and 1/2 years ago and about a year ago we decided we needed a change of scenery and I immediately suggested Tennessee. In May 2024 we bought property and in June we made Crossville home! In our spare time we enjoy golfing, hiking, playing video games, and loving on our 4 beautiful rescue pups! I am so happy to be apart of Fairfield Glade Veterinary Hospital! I looked forward to meeting all our clients and helping as many fur babies as we can!”

We are just as delighted to have Taylor as part of our amazing staff!
