Your Trusted Veterinary Team in Grass Lake, MI
Jamie Cottrell, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Cottrell joined the GLAH team in October 2022. She grew up on her grandparents’ farm in Kentucky, where they raised cattle, sheep, and goats. She attended the University of Kentucky for her undergraduate studies and received her Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biotechnology with a minor in Animal Science. She then attended Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2016 with her Doctor in Veterinary Medicine. Upon graduation, she practiced at a small animal clinic for 2 years. Prior to leaving Kentucky, she was working at a mixed animal clinic, still mainly focusing on small animal medicine, and had practiced there for 4 years. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, both near and far, as well as reading and working on various sewing crafts at home.
Breanna Showerman
LVT
I graduated from Michigan State University in 2018 with a degree in Veterinary Technology. Growing up I lived on a farm and did 4-H, showing cattle and pigs. I always knew I had a love for animals and have wanted to me in the Vet Med field since I was a little girl! In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, friends, and pets. I’m married to my high school sweet heart and we have our daughter, Layla. We also have 2 dogs (Remington and Desiree) and 3 cats (Taz, Nala, and Willow). Fun fact: I worked at GLAH when I was in high school as a kennel attendant, so it’s so good to be back home where my love for Vet Med really started now that I am a licensed Technician.
Kristin Allen
LVT
I graduated from Michigan State University in 2003 with a degree in Veterinary Technology. Growing up I knew I wanted to work with animals. When I am not at work I am usually spending time with one of my six kitties: Wendall, Sissy, Smokey, Henry, Ghostie, and Peaches. I also love reading, camping, and bike riding!
Ginny Heinz
Veterinary Assistant
Hi, I am Ginny. I have been a Veterinary Assistant since 2015. I graduated with my Associate of Arts Degree in St. Charles, MO in 2015. In 2017, I married my high school sweetheart and then moved here to Michigan. I have two dogs, a 7-year-old Great Dane Mix and a 6-year-old Lab Mutt. When I am not working, you can find me either camping or fishing on the lake.
Laurie Graham
Receptionist
I’ve spent my life around animals, from growing up on a farm with cows, goats, and chickens, to volunteering at a wildlife infirmary. I’ve fostered and bottle-raised kittens and worked at a horse farm. I’ve always been happiest around animals of all kinds. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2013 and have had a few career changes along the way and I’m so glad they led me to GLAH in October 2022. I’m married to an incredibly supportive husband (that never gets mad at the strays I bring home). I have three amazing kids, and two shelter mutts, Reese and Ducky. I enjoy hiking and backpacking, paddle boarding, painting, and creating fiber art.
