Kyle

Kyle was born in Dallas, TX, but grew up in Upper St. Clair, PA where she graduated from high school. She attended college at Maryville College in Maryville, TN, majoring in Sign Language Interpreting, but later transferred to the University of Tennessee, where she majored in Deaf Education. Kyle has 2 sons, Mark and Dan, and 3 stepsons, Jodie, Derek and Shane. Kyle and husband Roger have a total of 8 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. They live very happily in the countryside in Stanly County, NC. Kyle and Roger have several cats . She is teased about being the Crazy Cat Lady at work, though her cat population has dwindled substantially over the years. Kyle and Roger have now have 2 inside cats and 2 outdoor cats. Their white German Shepherd, Kenna, has some big paws to fill, but goes just about everywhere Kyle and Roger go, including fishing, camping and photographing - mainly birds. Add to that Bucky, a Coton de Tulear and very well-travelled pup, and their life is full of adventure!

Photography is just one of her passions, and she and Roger are on the TEAM for the annual Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend. Kyle is a volunteer for Waterfall Keepers of North Carolina which cleans up and provides quarterly trail and waterfall maintenance reports for "her" waterfalls, Rufus Morgan Falls  Mooney Falls, and Kate's Falls, a project she shares with her best friend, Melissa. She loves to play the piano, quilt, kayak, knit (aka collecting yarn) and hike, as well. She's also recently started sewing dresses for one of her  granddaughters. Kyle ran AHS’s Northside office from 1996 until 2001 when that office was closed and she came to the main hospital to work as a Veterinary Nurse. She has since added the duties of Marketing, Communications, Social Media Director, Photographer and Videographer – duties she also enjoys! Kyle loves AHS – She says the people she works with are great – they have become like family to her. She feels the practice works really hard to provide the best of care to the pets AND clients we serve. Always a dog lover, Kyle has more recently become an avid cat fan (out of necessity), as well. She says she can’t imagine her life without some kind of dog or cat in it.
