Sierrah McLaughlin
Veterinary Assistant / Groomer
Hey everyone! My name is Sierrah and I have worked in the veterinary field for about 5-6 years now. I graduated from Martinsville, Class of 2018, and have lived in this area for about 12 years now. I now have my own grooming business which I started almost 2 years ago and it has been very enjoyable but always keeps me on my toes! I live with my fiance, Dustin and together we have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Brady (yes, I am a Tom Brady fan!) and an almost 3 year old Feisty French Bulldog named Beau. Outside of work, I enjoy laughing with my friends and spending quality time with my family. Being able to advocate for our furry friends and give them the best medical care makes the days both unique and rewarding. I look forward to meeting everyone and their fur babies!
Echo Sherwood
Veterinary Technician
Hi! My name is Echo Sherwood and I am a Veterinary Technician. I was born and raised in Owensboro, Kentucky (I'm sure you can tell once I start talking!) but moved to Casey, IL in 2010 with my husband, Nick, to start our family and work on the family farm. We have two kids, Drew and Audrey, along with two spunky cats, Felix and Zoe, who all keep us busy! I began working in the veterinary field right out of high school and knew I wanted to further my education as an animal "nurse" the moment I assisted with a dental cleaning! I graduated from Murray State University with a bachelor's degree of Science in Animal Health Technology in 2000 and worked as a certified technician until 2008. I enjoy spending time with my family, attending concerts, playing games and we all LOVE being outside as much as we can! I can't wait to meet y'all!
Christina Bumpus
Certified Veterinary Technician
Hey! My name is Christina Bumpus. I am a Certified Veterinary Technician. I am from Marshall, IL! I graduated high school in 2009 and went on to Lakeland College for Pre vet. I then transferred up to Parkland College in Champaign, IL to participate in the veterinary technician program. I graduated and became certified in 2013! I have worked at a couple different practices throughout Illinois before I settled back into Marshall.
I have a wonderful family that consists of my husband, Bryan, and our two beautiful children, Abbigail and Dean. We also have 2 cats, Primrose and Katniss!
I have an enormous love for all animals, but in my spare time, I LOVE fishing! I also love hunting; I'm just still waiting to get my first deer! I also enjoy just spending time with my kids.
I am so excited to be working at Farm and Family again!
