Jamie Woodard

A 2010 graduate of the University of Tennessee's vet program, Dr. Woodard brings a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience to the classroom. She’ll be teaching veterinary science classes to high school students, sharing her passion for animal health and care - all while also working at a local veterinary hospital. Outside of teaching, she stays busy with her own furry and four-legged crew—including cats, dogs, horses, and goats. We’re lucky to have her inspiring the next generation of veterinary professionals!
