Hannah Hale
Veterinary Assistant
I was born in Hagerstown Maryland before moving to Bartlesville when I was 6 years old. Animals have always been a major part of my life! Over the years we always had the typical dogs and cats, but we also have had birds, rats, and a hermit crab at one point. Animals are my love and part of my soul.
While in high school, I learned that Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic was participating in the Career Exploration Program through BHS. This is an internship program that allows senior students to job shadow at businesses they are interested in pursuing as a career. After a conversation with my counselor, I spent a couple of hours a week at the clinic to shadow and learn what veterinary medicine was all about. At the end of my senior year, I accepted a position as a veterinary assistant and have never looked back!
I love my job, no doubt about it. Although it’s not always fun and happy, I get to play with puppies and kittens almost every day! The team I work with feels more like a family. We support and push each other every day. My favorite part of veterinary medicine is preventative care because of the long term implications on our patient’s health. If we can catch an issue early, it could add years to the pet’s life and potentially save the owner money in the long run.
In my free time, I like to go running with my fur baby Sara, hang out with friends, and spend time with family. I also enjoy spending time at home with my Herbie, the best cat in the world!

Veterinary Assistant
I was born and raised in Bartlesville, OK. I have had a love for animals and an interest in veterinary medicine since I was a kid, and my best friends have always been my pets. I attended the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond for a short period, and while living there, I found a position as a Kennel Technician. I quickly fell in love with the job, all the people, and all the patients.
When I moved back home, I knew I had to continue doing what I loved and was lucky enough to join the Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic team. One of my favorite things about working at Arrowhead is building relationships with each patient and their families. Getting to love on everyone’s fur babies and making sure they are getting the best medical care possible is so rewarding. I am truly fortunate to continue my journey in veterinary medicine. I have been blessed with my dream job.
On my days off, I enjoy listening to music, reading, and spending time with my mom, my sister, and my Rottweiler Rose.
Karlee Lloyd
Customer Service Representative
Hi! My name is Karlee Lloyd and I’m the friendly face you see when you walk into Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic. I have been told that I am naturally good with animals and pets. Because they have always played such an integral part of my life, working with them every day is a dream come true.
My pets have helped me through so much; therefore, when I came to work at Arrowhead it was like a piece of the puzzle was put into place. I am now in a position where I am able to help not only pets but the ones who love them as well. It’s hard to narrow down exactly what I love about my job because there’s so much to love. I would have to say, one of my biggest joys of this job is seeing the positive influence we have on every pet that enters our doors. I find it very important to love on them as they wait for our diligent vets’ medical care. It brings me so much happiness to be there for the owners, listen to their concerns, and support every two, three, or four-legged friend that enters our clinic. What motivates me, day in and day out is knowing that I am able to assist pets in making them feel better and live longer, even if it’s just by making an appointment.
I come from somewhat of a big family of seven people, but I consider our pets vital members of the family as well. At the present time, I have 3 fur babies of my own: a Mini Aussie named Harlow and two cats, Winni and Juniper. I wish I could save, adopt, or foster all pets in need, but for now, these three keep me plenty busy.
Here is a quote that embodies how I see myself and my love for pets; “Pets may only be here for part of your life, but to them, you are their whole life”.

Growing up in Bartlesville Oklahoma provided me with a unique blend of experiences that shaped my character and deepened my love for animals.
My childhood was marked by an affinity for the outdoors. I spent countless hours exploring my family’s land. This connection to nature fostered a deep appreciation for wildlife and domestic animals alike. As I grew older, I became increasingly involved in activities that allowed me to express my love for animals, particularly through 4H and FFA.
Joining 4H and FFA was an important moment in my life. These organizations provided me with invaluable opportunities to learn about animal husbandry, agriculture, and leadership. I participated in various projects, including raising livestock and engaging in community service initiatives. Working with animals taught me responsibility, empathy, and the importance of hard work. In high school, I wanted further exposure to animals through an internship at Sutton Aviation; working with endangered masked bobwhite quail as part of a conservation effort. It was definitely a challenging but rewarding experience.
4H, FFA, and my internship have shaped my aspirations. My love for animals remains at the forefront of my goals. Working with such a diverse range of animals gave me a versatile skill set and a keen insight into how to meet the needs of various species, whether they’re feathered, furry, or farm-raised.
I’m passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care and building strong bonds with every animal I work with. Whether I’m handling a family’s cherished house pet or patients that require consistent care and attention to thrive. My goal is always the same to ensure they receive the best care possible and to support the people who love them.
In my free time, I love to spend time with friends and family, watching movies, and hanging out with my doll-faced Persian cat named Maurice, who brings me so much laughter and joy every day. I am grateful to be apart of Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic!

Veterinary Assistant
My heart and soul has forever been devoted to animal companionship and welfare. Growing up, animals in need always seemed to find me and my family; or simply, being in the right place at the right time. When I was little, I distinctly remember seeing a baby bird fall out of its nest and rushed over to care for the little one. My parents were so accustomed to me bringing home random animals in need that adding another into our home was like second nature. To this day, my husband, and son can attest to that. As we have a home full of all kinds of critters: crested geckos, jumping spiders, pet rats, two English Bulldogs, and cats.
My job as a veterinary assistant is an integral part of who I am. Learning all I can about preventative care and animal behavior; establishing client-patient relationships and being an advocate for animals is deeply rewarding. I am beyong blessed to work in animal medicine.
When I am away from work, I enjoy a good book while crocheting. Being in nature with my son, playing checkers with my husband, playing fetch with my dogs and relaxing. Relaxing at my home is never without at least one cat sleeping on my lap and my two dogs Izzy and Tootsie sleeping on either side of me. My idea of Heaven.

Veterinary Assistant
Hi! I was born and raised in Lompoc, Ca and recently moved to Bartlesville. It’s never easy being the new girl in town but it already feels like home.
From the time I was a child, I knew my future would be dedicated to animals. I was always caring for all types of animals, from rats to any dog my mom would let me bring home. That early passion led me to become a veterinary assistant , where I have started to build a career centered on compassion, care, and education.
My particular area of interest is animal dentistry, where I find joy in helping pets live healthier, more comfortable lives through specialized care.
I also value the opportunity to partner with pet owners, providing the knowledge and support they need to ensure their companions thrive at home.
When I’m not at the clinic, I enjoy the company of my wife, children and my two dogs, Meeka and Bakari ,who serve as a daily reminder of the unconditional love and trust that animals bring into our lives. I believe every patient deserves not only medical care but also kindness, respect, and a voice — and I am proud to provide just that. I have worked at a couple of clinics but Arrowhead is by far the best ! Working here has been an amazing experience and I cannot wait to see what the future holds!
Mackenzie Neal
Kennel Technician, Veterinary Assistant
Hi, my name is Mackenzie Neal, and I have lived in Oklahoma my entire life. Working at Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic has been an incredible and rewarding experience for me.
My love for dogs started about four years ago when I began fostering puppies. Each time I helped a puppy find its forever home, my passion for caring for animals grew. That experience sparked a lifelong dedication to making a difference in the lives of pets and their families.
I started at Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic as a kennel technician, where I loved spending time with the dogs, ensuring they felt cared for and comfortable during their stays. Over time, my role has expanded, and I now assist with some responsibilities of a veterinary assistant, which has deepened my connection to the clinic’s work. I truly enjoy meeting every person who walks through our doors and interacting with their pets. Each patient brightens my day, and being part of their care journey brings me immense joy.
Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic has been a source of inspiration and growth for me, and I couldn’t ask for a better place to work. I plan to continue my education and pursue a career as a veterinary technician so I can expand my skills and share even more love with animals across Oklahoma.
