Meet Our Technical Staff

Chelsea Collison, Registered Veterinary Technician Team Leader, Care Pair

My name is Chelsea, and I joined the Woodland Family in 2013 as an RVT and Care Pair to Dr. Jones. I’m currently the Technician Team Lead as well as Hospital Operations and Inventory Manager. I’ve been married since 2009, to one of Tulsa’s bravest and we have one amazing son. We have two perfect doggies, Finn a shepherd mix, and Aspen a golden mix.

The thing I love most about Woodland is watching families grow! I am so honored that I get to take care of fur babies from their very first vet visits to their annual exams each year. I love seeing how their personalities grow and change.

Mollie graduated from TCC in 2017. She is Dr. Hollingsworth’s RVT. Mollie has a heart of gold and isn’t afraid of much! She is a lover of all things pekingese and Disney. Mollie comes in with a smile everyday and sets such a good example of what an RVT should be. She is so good at what she does! We are so lucky to have such a kind hearted person like Mollie to work with everyday. Mollies spirit animal is a chicken or a pekingese top of the pecking order, fearless, friendly and adorable sweet face.

Kelsey Wagoner, Registered Veterinary Technician, Care Pair

                                         Cynthia Fairchild, Triage and Care Pair

Prior to getting involved with animal care, I had worked in retail, restaurants…and even factories, but I never felt like going to work when the alarm went off in the morning. When I was about 20yrs old, I got a job at a no-kill shelter. That’s when I knew this was it, I knew this is what I was supposed to be doing with my life. I started going to school with the intent to make a career out of it, and well here I am, 21 yrs later and still loving it!

Bailey Jones, Care Pair

Bailey has been around Woodland since July of 2008. It has always been her dream to work beside Dr. Heinz. She loves all animals (especially the mutts) and has adopted all of hers from Animal aid of Tulsa over the years. She has two dogs: Ellee a 6 year old Aussie mix and Grady a 3 year old Heinz 57 and two precious cats: Harvey, who is the queen of her world, and the cutest siamese named Jinx. She also has a couple rats that are all named after her favorite Harry Potter characters. Bailey enjoys hanging out with friends, drinking a glass of wine or spending time with her sisters and cute little nephews in her free time.

Shelby Scott, Registered Veterinary Technician, Hospitalization Technician Team Leader

Hi! My name is Shelby and I have been with Woodland West for 7 whole years! My job as a treatment technician is to take care of hospitalized pets and make sure they are getting the love and care that they would receive at home. I am extremely blessed to have been awarded Employee of the Year for 2021. My favorite thing about working here is getting to live my dream of working with cute little animals next to all of my best friends. Along with my soon-to-be husband, we have 2 dogs: Macy and Netflix, 2 cats: Taco and Lil Pea, and our turtle tribe: Pete, Patròn Silver, Hank, Hugo, and Barney. In my free time, you can catch me sipping on a margarita and hanging out with family and friends.

Alexis Wallis, Registered Veterinary Technician, Surgical Technician Care Pair

Leah Page, Registered Veterinary Technician, Care Pair

I started working at Woodland West in 2019. I was placed here during my practicum for the Vet Tech program and never left. Everyone has become like family to me. I graduated from TCC and then became an RVT in 2020. I acquired 2 art degrees before going into Vet Tech, even though I have known since I was a child that I wanted to work with animals. I love working with all the furbabies that come in. However, boxers will always be my favorite.

Alisa Greiner, Registered Veterinary Technician, Care Pair

Hi everyone! My name is Alisa and I’m an RVT. My Woodland journey started as an internship over the summer of 2020. I soon fell in love with the clinic and accepted a job at the end of the internship. I started out as a treatment tech taking care of all the sick fur babies. At the beginning of this year I switched to being part of a care pair and now work with Dr. Gonzalez. I love WWAH because I am ALWAYS learning more every day and I get to meet so many cute pumpkins (aka dogs) and smittens (aka cats). When I’m off the clock you can probably count on me to be hanging out at home with my pumpkin Noodle and smitten Smokey, with friends, or my husband ❤. I also love being outside (except when it’s cold) exploring and hiking. Noodle is our 3yo corgi mix. He is quite shy with new people and crazy about squirrels and the dog park.
Smokey is by far my favorite (don’t tell Noodle 😬) From a tiny kitten to 19 years later, she has been my best friend. I might be biased but she is the absolute best cat in the whole world. 😻 If you ask me about her I will talk your ear off about how great she is. 😁

Cat Stafford, Registered Veterinary Technician, Triage Technician

Hi everyone! My name is Cat (not to be confused with the species) and I am an RVT here at Woodland West. I have always had a love for animals since I was a little girl and knew my passion would grow stronger as I got older. Shortly after high school, I started my career in vet med by working at a mixed animal practice in Pryor, Ok. While there, I worked with a variety of animals: Cattle, horses, goats/sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, zoo animals, and the list goes on. In 2019, I began a new chapter of my life by receiving my RVT license and joining the Woodland West Animal Hospital family. At the hospital, you will either find me taking care of your beloved family pets in the back, working alongside a doctor, or giving everyone hugs. Outside of the clinic, you will find me at a beach or on a cruise ship, spending time with my family and friends, training and competing in agility, watching Disney movies, or taking a nap. My wonderful husband Wes and I have an unimaginably sweet and smart dog named Cyprus, a loving but lazy cat named Katie, and the cutest crested gecko you’ll ever see named Kilo. If I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, I hope to meet you soon!

Hi! I’m Cassidy and I’ve been working at Woodland West Animal Hospital for almost a year now! I began my summer internship there last year and started working there ever since! I just recently graduated from the TCC Veterinary Technician and love my job! You can either see me taking care of the hospitalized babies or checking in on rooms. I am a huge dog lover, I have 4. An Auggie, Miniature Australian Shepherd, Blue Heeler, and a pit bull. I also have an indoor cat. Last but not least, I have two horses which are pictured. One on the left is Moneytree which is my rope horse and on the right is Smoker my barrel horse.

Dusty Reece, Triage Assistant, Veterinary Assistant Team Leader

Erin Andrews, Veterinary Assistant

Hey, y’all! My name is Erin, I have been a part of the woodland family for over a year. I started out upfront as a CSR and worked my way to the back as a level 3 assistant. I absolutely love seeing and playing with all the furry kiddos that come in for their appointments. When I’m not working alongside my sister, Allie, you’ll find me at the lake, playing Xbox, or simply at home playing with all of my 4 legged companions! I have wanted to work at Woodland since I was a kid and have enjoyed my time here making memories and look forward to many more!

Andrea Westberry, Triage Assistant

Tawnee McAfee, Veterinary Assistant

Hey there! My name is Tawnee, and I’m a veterinary assistant. Most of my time at work is spent taking care of our furry friends and helping wherever I can. I’ve been with Woodland West for a little under a year and love every minute of it! I chose to work for woodland west because working with animals has been a lifelong dream, and the people there are all so nice and welcoming and are always there to offer any amount of knowledge or wisdom, not to mention the passion they have for offering the best care possible for cats and dogs. When I’m not at work you can find me curled up reading a book or watching old reruns on Netflix with my own fur babies.

Diana Stone, Veterinary Assistant

Hello everyone, my name is Diana and I’m a veterinarian assistant here at Woodland. I have been with Woodland for about a year and a half, and I absolutely love working here. Working at Woodland has taught me so much, and I love learning how to care for animals, which is something I have been wanting to do since I was a little girl. When I am not working or going to school, I am spending time with my kids, playing video games with my husband, reading, watching tv, and playing with my pets.

Holli Steinsiek, Overnight Assistant

Karma Davis, Veterinary Assistant

Hey everyone! My name is Karma and I’m 21 years old. I have one older sister and 2 dogs. One is a 12 years old pitbull named Nicki and a 2-year-old husky named Ozzy. I’ve been at Woodland West for a year now and I love meeting every new pet that comes here. When I’m not at work you can find me sleeping and cuddling with my dog. If I’m not sleeping then I’m reading comic books or playing video games. I started working here because I would always pass by the hospital when I was a kid and daydream about working here and helping out sick pets. I always had an obsession with animals and wanted to see new and exotic pets. My pitbull was diagnosed with degenerative joint disease when she was 4 years old, so that’s when I knew that I wanted to learn and help out pets that were just like her. I’m so happy that I can take care and love on everyone’s pets whenever they stay here or visit the hospital. I hope to continue to work with everyone here and hope to help many more pets for as long as I am here.

Emily Shoemake, Veterinary Assistant

Hi, my name is Emily and I’ve been at Woodland West for a little over 4 years. I fill many different positions at the hospital, but they all give me an amazing chance of working up close with your babies. I am going into my second year of vet school and I love being able to apply and grow my knowledge here at WWAH. Outside of work and school, I enjoy spending time with my pup Kirby and my cats Bug and Achilles.

Jordan Cherry, Kennel Technician

Hi! I’m Jordan and I’ve worked at Woodland West Animal Hospital for about 3 years now!
I’ve always loved animals and want to help them out in the best way possible!
I started working at woodland west as a kennel tech but worked my way up to a veterinary assistant. I hope to one day to become an RVT! On my days off, I love to longboard or have some fun at the lake. I have a 1-year-old cat named Bean and he is the sweetest boy in the world.
