Managers
When it was time for Jason and Dr. Jodi to start a family, they decided to move back to the East Coast. It was an easy decision to move to this area where most of Dr. Jodi’s family lives. Jason then worked for Fresenius Medical Care as the area manager for seven branches of their dialysis treatment centers. With his strong entrepreneurial spirit, he decided to go to work for himself rehabbing dilapidated homes here in the Raleigh area. He obtained a real estate broker’s license and still enjoys investment real estate.
Jason jumped at the chance when Dr. Jodi proposed opening their very own veterinary hospital and has been by her side during the entire process. We feel very fortunate to have him here with us. His real estate construction background helped build our hospital and his previous medical, managerial, and financial experience makes him a well qualified practice manager. He is a huge animal lover too…a must for his position!
Danielle attended Appalachian State University and received a BA in Sociology, but quickly realized that her true calling was working with animals. She has worked as a kennel technician and receptionist and enjoys offering a helping hand in any situation. She was thrilled to join the Harmony family in May of 2012 as a receptionist. She was honored to soon be promoted to Lead Receptionist and again to her current role as Office Manager.
When she isn’t busy playing with animals, she loves to explore photography, painting, writing, watching horror movies and gardening. She also loves to get out of town for long weekends in the mountains, especially if it involves hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway!
Danielle shares her home with her fur-kids which are all rescues; her two cats Azrael and Freya and her dog Briana.

His interest in the veterinary field began at a very young age. Aaron developed an extreme love of animals and was fascinated by watching them playfully interact with one another. But, it was the death of his family dog, Abbey, from complications of Lyme disease that truly motivated Aaron to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. He made a promise to himself that he would dedicate his life to saving as many animals as possible.
When Aaron is not at work he enjoys watching sports, listening to music, exercising, going to the beach, hanging out with friends, and of course, playing with his dogs. At this time, he has four canines named Caroline, Chloe, Mallory, and Max, all of whom are Labs or Lab mixes.
Aaron started out as a kennel assistant here at Harmony Animal Hospital and worked his way up to the position of a vet tech.
Assistants
Michaela is excited for the opportunity to gain more knowledge in the veterinary field and plans on returning to school that will hopefully lead to her obtaining her DVM. Her dream is to work with exotic animals and create the best life possible for them.
Michaela loves animals, especially sloths; but since her husband says she can’t have a sloth of her own, they have 2 wonderful Australian Shepherds named Gatsby and Whisper who always make them laugh.
In the warmer months, you can easily find Michaela and her husband outside on their porch grilling and having friends and family around a fire. She also enjoys Crossfit and watching movies.
