Mikayla joined the EAH team in February 2025 and has since grown into her role as Practice Manager. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Therapy, where her education and experience focused on working with athletes, coordinating care, and helping individuals perform at their best. She has carried those skills from managing athletes into managing a veterinary hospital, where teamwork, organization, communication, and compassionate care are just as important.

​

As Practice Manager, Mikayla helps oversee the day-to-day operations of the hospital, supports the EAH team, and works to ensure that every client and patient receives a welcoming and positive experience.

​

Outside of the hospital, Mikayla loves spending time outdoors with her two dogs, Maia and Iyla. She has a passion for running and canicross and enjoys staying active with her dogs through hiking, snowshoeing, paddle boarding, and plenty of outdoor adventures together.

Sade joined the Espanola Animal Hospital team as a Client Care Representative in August 2026. She holds a Bachelor of Social Sciences with a minor in Criminology. Prior to transitioning to veterinary care, she focused her career within social work and the criminal justice system. She is also a certified birth and bereavement doula, experiences through which she has developed a deep appreciation for offering compassion and support to people during some of life’s more difficult moments.

As a lifelong animal lover, Sade is passionate about the well-being of animals and the people who care for them. She understands that veterinary care can sometimes come with worry and uncertainty, and values being able to offer kindness and support to clients while their pets receive the care they need.

Outside of work, Sade enjoys spending time with her Labrador Retriever, Aerith, getting lost in a good book, reconnecting with nature on her paddleboard, and embracing her inner nerd by embarking on epic adventures playing Dungeons & Dragons.

When it comes to lending a paw and offering a listening ear, Happy is the go-to. He has a keen sense of when someone might need a snuggle, a slobbery kiss, or a belly to rub.
