Meet Bri:
"My name is Brianne, but I go by Bri, I work up front as a receptionist. I have worked at Wellspring since March 2019. I worked in a Vet's office while I was in college but took time off from working to be at home with my 2 children. When I was ready to go back to work I heard that Dr. Thomas was looking for someone to help up front, so I jumped at the chance to work in a vet office again. On my time off I am normally at the ball park watching my son play baseball."
