Meet Our Veterinary Team

Jamie Charlie, Associate Veterinarian

I’m originally from Ville Platte, Louisiana, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in health care, and during my junior year of high school, I attended a job fair at LSU and spoke with a representative from the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. From that moment, I set my sights on veterinary school and haven’t looked back.

I started working as a veterinary assistant in 2002 and became a veterinarian in 2008. What I enjoy most about working at our hospital is the relationships I build with clients, patients, and coworkers. Whether we’re providing routine wellness care or managing complex medical conditions, we’re all united in the goal of caring for the pets who share our lives and homes.

I have a special interest in senior pet care, helping pets enjoy a full, comfortable life in their golden years.

At home, I share my life with a lively bunch: Minion, a senior Chihuahua/Terrier mix who loves food and naps; Albus, a young adult miniature poodle who loves walks and snuggles; and three cats—Abita, a 10-year-old chatterbox; Clementine, a 7-year-old toy-chasing beauty; and Matilda, a 5-year-old explorer of our fenced-in backyard.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading as many books as possible, playing video games, and hitting the disc golf course. Fun fact: my favorite food is duck and sausage gumbo!

I feel incredibly grateful to witness and care for the special bond between people and their pets every day.

Becky Graf, Associate Veterinarian

I’m originally from Nebraska and have been working in veterinary medicine for over 25 years, including two years as a veterinary assistant before earning my DVM from Kansas State Veterinary College. My passion for veterinary medicine comes from a lifelong love of animals and a desire to strengthen the bond between pets and their people.

What I enjoy most about working at our hospital is that everyone here is focused on helping—helping our clients, helping their pets, and finding joy in what can be a challenging profession. I especially enjoy working with pets with dental disease. There’s nothing better than seeing how much brighter and more energetic a pet feels after having diseased teeth removed.

At home, I share my life with a goofy three-year-old Irish Setter named Tipsy. Outside of work, I love spinning yarn, weaving, crocheting, gardening, and taking good walks with my dog. I’m also a fan of video games—always up for a little friendly competition!

I’m excited to bring my experience, compassion, and dedication to our patients and clients, and I look forward to helping pets live their happiest, healthiest lives.

Sara Logan, Registered Veterinary Technician, Practice Manager

Hi, I’m Sara, RVT and Practice Manager here at South Platte. I’m originally from Central Illinois and moved to Colorado in 1996 to study dance and music. I didn’t find my way into veterinary medicine until 2010, when I started volunteering at the Dumb Friends League and the Wild Animal Sanctuary while in school. I graduated from Bel-Rea in 2012 and quickly discovered my passion for caring for dogs and cats.

What I love most about South Platte is our team—we’re like a family, and it’s amazing to work with people who genuinely support each other and the pets we serve. I’m Fear Free Certified and have a special knack for helping nervous dogs feel comfortable and safe during their visits.

I’m a greyhound lover at heart, and when I’m not at work, you can usually find me dancing, reading, kayaking, or traveling—I’ve even studied dance in Brazil and backpacked through Alaska.

I’m truly grateful for every client and patient who trusts us to care for them—it’s a privilege I never take for granted.

Ashley, Registered Veterinary Technician

I’m a Colorado native and started in veterinary medicine in 2015. I’ve always loved animals—and the people who come with them.

Over the years, I’ve worked in many areas of veterinary medicine, including emergency, surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, and internal medicine. I’ve found my passion in internal medicine, where I enjoy helping clients understand complex disease processes and supporting them through their pets’ care.

What I love most about working here is our amazing team—we truly are a work family and always show up for each other.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my baby girl. We love staying active with hiking, biking, skiing, traveling, and sometimes just relaxing at home.

Fun fact: our first international trip as a family was to Italy—and our little one came along for the adventure!

Lindsay, Veterinary Technician

I’m a Colorado native and have been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a pediatric nurse practitioner, I developed a love for science early on—but animals have always had my heart.

I’ve been working with animals for about eight years. I became a Certified Veterinary Assistant in 2022 and recently graduated from veterinary technician school in 2025, continuing to grow my skills and knowledge in patient care.

What I love most about working at our hospital is the people. Everyone here truly cares about every person and pet that walks through our doors. We’re a family, and we support each other every day.

I’ve always had a special love for horses—they’re basically just big dogs in my opinion!
At home, I have a full crew: Lily, my medium-haired calico; Garth, my orange tabby; Ruby, my King Charles Cavalier/Aussie mix; and Max, my King Charles Cavalier.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, and listening to music.

Fun fact: I grew up with two older brothers—so I promise, your big dog doesn’t scare me!

Monica, Registered Veterinary Technician

Originally from Denver, CO, my passion for veterinary medicine began early in life. Animals were always my comfort during tough times, which inspired me to dedicate my career to advocating for their health and well-being. After graduating from the Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology in 1988, I joined the field to make a direct impact on the lives of pets and their people.

What makes our hospital special to me is working alongside a compassionate team that serves families across diverse backgrounds in our community. I thrive on the diversity of technician work—from managing anesthesia and radiology to lab work, outpatient care, and clinic organization. My top priority is always delivering exceptional care while keeping visits as low-stress as possible for your furry family members.

When I’m not at the clinic, I love spending time with my husband, our six grandchildren, and our four pets (Chihuahuas: Beenie, Diego, and Rosa, plus my cat Tia). We enjoy traveling, mountain adventures, volunteering with our church community, and escaping to our family’s self-built, solar-powered straw-bale home in the Wet Mountains!

Maria, Client Service Representative

Hi, I’m a Client Service Representative here at South Platte and a proud Denver native. I’ve been working in the veterinary field for about four years, driven by a lifelong love and compassion for animals and a strong desire to help pets.

What I love most about South Platte is the warm, family-like atmosphere—we’re a close-knit team that genuinely supports each other and cares deeply about the animals we serve.

One of my main areas of interest is animal behavior. I’m especially passionate about working with pets who need a little extra time, understanding, and patience. It’s incredibly rewarding to help those animals feel safe and cared for during their visits.

At home, I have a fun little crew of my own: two cats named Persian and Majin, and my sweet “tripawd” dog, Millie. Millie is especially close to my heart—she’s a survivor, and Dr. Wood here at South Platte actually helped save her life!

Outside of work, I’m all about music and adventure. Whether it’s discovering new artists, going to concerts, or exploring new places, I love finding ways to stay inspired and connected.

I’m always here to help make your experience as welcoming and smooth as possible—and to make sure your pets feel like family.

Hanna, Client Service Representative

Hi, I’m Hanna! As one of the Client Service Representatives at SPVH, I’m thrilled to welcome you and your furry family members to our clinic.

Originally from Colorado, I studied Biomedical Science at CSU and have spent my career connecting my love for medicine, human health, and animals. Because of my accident-prone Belgian Malinois, I know firsthand how stressful pet emergencies and health scares can be. My goal every day is to offer you the empathy, warmth, and reassuring support I always wanted when I was in your shoes.

My favorite part about working here is our compassionate, pet-and-people-first culture. I’m especially passionate about dog behavior, which stems from my background as a professional service dog trainer (I’ve trained two of my own!).

When I’m not at the clinic, I’m usually adventuring with my sweet Collie, Dragon, playing cards with family, or obsessing over my growing houseplant collection!

Meghann, Remote Client Service Representative

I am based in Colorado and bring over 20 years of experience to the veterinary field, having served as both a Veterinary Technician and a Customer Service Representative. My career has been defined by a lifelong passion for animal health and a dedication to the people who care for them.

What I enjoy most about my work is the opportunity to use my background to support the vital connection between families and their pets. Whether I’m leaning on my clinical knowledge or my communication skills, my goal is always to ensure every client feels supported and every pet receives the best possible care.

At home, I share my life with a wonderful group of animals: my three dogs, Dekker, Sue, and Sage; two cats, Gizmo and Zippy; and my pig, Liberty.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me cheering for my son at his baseball, basketball, or football games. I am also deeply involved in 4-H as a club leader and volunteer, helping with my son’s projects and giving back to our community. Any remaining free time is spent making memories with my family and friends.

I feel incredibly grateful to dedicate my career to witnessing and protecting the special bond between people and their pets every day.
