Payton Rhymes
Veterinary Assistant

I grew up in Northern Virginia, about 30 miles west of Washington D.C. Both of my parents are veterinarians, and I began my career in their clinic and I worked for them for about seven years. I decided to attend Louisiana State University and received my Bachelor's in Animal Sciences in 2018. Life brought me to Louisville in the fall of 2018. I married my wife, Lauren, in 2021 and we welcomed our daughter, Georgia, in October 2023. I am currently working on my veterinary technician schooling through VCA. Upon completion, I intend to continue working on a Master's of Divinity from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with hopes to become a pastor.
