Elyse Rowley, MS

“I’ve only ever had one job that didn’t involve animals; working with animals is just about all I’ve ever known. I grew up riding horses, feeding the neighbors animals, working for large and small animal veterinarians, then studied Animal Science at Cal Poly, SLO before studying Reproductive Endocrinology (within the Animal Science department) while earning my Masters degree at UC Davis then moved into the ICU at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center and the rest is history! I LOVE internal medicine and emergency/critical care and thrive on intense situations. After foaling my own small human, I shifted gears from the hospital to a niche mobile practice with Dr. Phoebe Smith (Riviera Equine Internal Medicine and Consulting) where we still get to practice medicine but go home at night and read to our kids. I’m still riding horses, branding calves and 3-day eventing, and am looking forward to broadening my horizons and meeting some amazing new people within the AAEVT by being your incoming President Elect!”

Andrea Whittle, LVT

“After graduating from college in England with a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science I moved to Kentucky as a research intern at Kentucky Equine Research, Inc. After this I started my employment at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital as the night shift supervisor. A short sabbatical in 2003 took me to Cambridge, NZ, as an equine neonatal technician before returning to Kentucky. In 2013 I moved into the Internal Medicine department at RREH as a lead technician. My clinical interests include neonatology, the nursing care of long-term hospitalized patients, such as laminitic or pleural pneumonia cases, and neurology. For career development and further education I completed my AS Veterinary Technology online and passed the VTNE in 2018. Away from work I like to think of myself as a home gardener and have a house full of plants. I have a long term love of travel, especially road trips, and try to get away to somewhere new every year; recent years have taken me to Alaska, British Columbia and Iceland.”
