Gabe (She/Her)
Practice Manager
Gabe brings a strong background in veterinary leadership, most recently serving as Hospital Director at Bethany Family Pet Clinic, where she has been for over 10 years. She originally started as a CCR and worked her way into leadership, with a passion for developing teams and mentoring within veterinary medicine. Gabe is also actively involved in the broader veterinary community, serving on the Board of Directors as Secretary for the Oregon Veterinary Technician and Assistant Association (OVTAA), and participating in programs like VITAL through PVMA.
Gabe grew up in the Midwest and moved to Portland in 2015. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking and camping with her rescue dog Leo, wine tasting with her husband Kevin, and spending time at home with her ball python Falkor and her three cats — Rupert, Roland, and Archibald (two orange cats… which tells you everything you need to know).
Sam (She/They)
Assistant Practice Manager
Sam joined the Kenton and Cathedral team in 2026, with extensive experience in animal welfare since 2011 and veterinary medicine since 2015. She was born and raised in Southern California, moved to Tucson, AZ for school at the Pima Medical Institute, and then made her way up to the Pacific Northwest in 2021. She has worked in almost every aspect of vet medicine as a veterinary assistant (and more!) in emergency, general practice, shelter, and integrative practices. Sam says she loved vet med because it is ever evolving, and there is always something new to learn!
When not at work, she loves dancing, being in any sort of body of water or in nature in general, making art, and volunteering for other animal related organizations. She shares her home with a tripod tuxedo cat Bear, a domestic medium hair cat Elliot, her pekingese Luna Lou, and a freshwater fish tank. She is currently attending Penn Foster college with the goal of acheiving her CVT.
Taylor (She/Her)
Inventory Specialist
Taylor hails from the Westside of Michigan. Her favorite things about the PNW include the beautiful hiking opportunities, wine country, and all the tasty bites you can find. She has a special place in her heart for bully breeds. Taylor will never miss the opportunity for a well-placed Lord Of The Rings reference or classic dad joke.
