Taylor Keele
Credentialed Veterinary Technician, ER

Taylor is from Beech Grove, Tennessee, where she grew up on a small farm raising cattle, hogs, goats, chickens etc. She developed a passion for animals at a young age and wanted to make a difference in animals' lives. She now lives in Manchester on a 36-acre farm with four pets: Bo, Crixus, Joker and Allie Mae, along with four turkeys, 15 chickens, and a bearded dragon, Rascal. She has a hobby of incubating chicken eggs and selling baby chickens, as well as their eggs.

You can always find Taylor outside in her garden, in the woods, making food plots for the upcoming hunting seasons, at the lake fishing, pretty much anything to keep her out of the house!

She started her veterinary medicine journey in May of 2016, first as a receptionist and working her way up to practice manager and now an LVMT. She has been an LVMT since June of 2022 and is currently working on her bachelor's degree through Penn Foster. Taylor's future plans are to start working on her VTS for Emergency and Critical Care and obtaining her master's in veterinary business.

She is excited to be a part of the RIVER family and expand her growth and knowledge in so many different departments and help the pets that need us!
