Kat SmithEquine Veterinary Technician
Mandi joined McCleery’s team in October 2021 after wanting to branch out from the hospital into the ambulatory setting. She received her associates in veterinary technology from SPC in south Florida where she worked in a small animal practice. She then made her way into Horse Country where she decided to get into large animal medicine. Mandi just finished her undergrad in equine science at Central Florida and plans to apply to vet school in the future! When she’s not working with Dr. McCleery, she enjoys being on her quaint six acres in Ocala with her 7 fur babies, eventing with her off the track thoroughbred Vali, or being out on the water in the Florida sun!
