Registered Veterinary Technicians

Lead RVT

    Edna earned her Associates of Science of Veterinary Technology from Penn Foster in 2012. Her love for all things furry and otherwise has driven her desire to care for and learn about animals. She has attended many seminars and conferences, mostly focusing on nutrition and dentistry. 
    Edna is a long time, dedicated employee of Docton Animal Clinic; she joined the Docton team in 1994. Edna’s favorite part of veterinary medicine is helping pets live healthier lives through treatment and client education. She is our surgery technician, assisting in surgery procedures and dental cleanings. If your pet needs a procedure done, Edna will likely be caring for your pet!
    Edna is a life-time resident of the Greene/Clinton County area. She and her husband, Trent, have 3 children. Besides caring for her family, farm life – including chickens, cattle, a horse, and goats – keeps her busy in her time away from work. Some of Edna’s current furry kids include 6 dogs: Athena, Bella and Tank (all Great Pyrenees), Mario (a Brittany mix), Annie (a Brittany) and Milly (a rat terrier, pictured). She also has 3 cats, Alex, Tigger, and Chestnut.

     Jessica is a Xenia native, graduating from Xenia High School in 2007. She earned her Associates of Science of Veterinary Technology from University of Cincinnati Blue Ash in 2013, passing her national boards to earn the title Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) that same year. She furthered her education, graduating in 2017, with a Bachelor's of Veterinary Technology from St. Petersburg College.
    Jessica is committed to helping our clients here at Docton provide their animals with exceptional care. Jessica loves the variety of veterinary medicine - she assists in surgery and enjoys interacting with patients and their owners during their appointments.
    As our Safety Officer, Jessica also works hard to keep our clinic a safe place to work and helps us adhere to OSHA's rules and guidelines. Jessica has also re-vamped our internal training program, giving it a much needed overhaul.
    When she is not working hard at the clinic, Jessica enjoys gardening, going on walks, and spending time with her three children. She has a Golden Retriever, Raven, and six chickens.​

    Leanna is a Beavercreek native and joined our team in 2020. She graduated from Sinclair in 2017 with an Associates Degree of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology. Leanna’s upbeat energy, love for learning, and passion for both pets and their owners makes her a valued member of our team. 
​    When she’s not caring for animals, she brings history to life through her work as a performer at the Ohio Renaissance Festival and Yuletide Village. At her Xenia home, she enjoys spending time with her family and her beloved Corgi, Sammamish. Though his legs be short, his spirit be mighty - Sir Sammamish gallopeth not, but doth waddle with honor.
