Quinn Leslie
Veterinary Assistant
Born and raised in the charming town of Orono, Minnesota, Quinn’s love for animals started early—riding horses competitively on the hunter jumper circuit throughout the Midwest. With a younger brother and sister who are twins (her sister now in bustling New York City and her brother in scenic Jackson Hole, Wyoming), Quinn learned the importance of adventure, adaptability, and family from an early age.
In 2014, Quinn traded Minnesota lakes for Nebraska plains, moving to Lincoln for college—GO BIG RED! Her passion for horses led her to ride professionally and manage barns across the country before discovering her calling in veterinary medicine. For the past three years, she’s been a dedicated Veterinary Assistant, driven by the goal of helping pets live their happiest, healthiest lives.Quinn’s favorite moments at work are when a pet comes in feeling unwell and leaves with a wag in their tail or a spark in their step. At home, she’s surrounded by her three dogs—Lincoln, Lila, and Lucy—and when she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her at the barn with her horses, Della and Jacques, or enjoying time with friends.For Quinn, every day is an opportunity to make a difference—one pet, one owner, and one smile at a time.
