Meet Our Staff

Please take a moment to get to know our staff. Each member of our team at Columbia Animal Clinic has taken the time to tell you a little about themselves.

Daniel J. Hill, DVM

When I was four years old, I started telling my family I was going to be a veterinarian, and I've stuck to that goal. I grew up in Jamestown in western New York and graduated from Ashland University (Ohio) in 2000. I am a 2009 graduate of the Ohio State University and spent the first year after graduation as a solo practitioner, substituting for a vet who was deployed to Kuwait. In 2010, I purchased the Columbia Animal Clinic and look forward to serving the area in the future.

I live in Strongsville and have a house with six cats and two dogs. When I am not working, I enjoy singing with my church choir, reading, hiking and camping.

Hiawatha (Eddie) Adams

I am the owner and practice manager at Columbia Animal Clinic. Although you may not see me around the clinic very often, I am always behind the scenes supporting the staff and Dr. Hill. I have been with the Columbia Animal Clinic since October of 2010.

I have many years of experience in retail and administrative management. I thoroughly enjoy bringing that experience to Columbia Animal Clinic. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering Technology and have always focused on technology. I use this particular skill set to increase the medical technology available to Dr. Hill and the staff, and ultimately your pets’ health care.

I use my spare time to spend time with my 2 dogs. I am an avid video game player and I enjoy remodeling projects and woodworking. You can see my hobby throughout the clinic, I really enjoy finding ways to make our small clinic look better, be more inviting and run more efficiently.

Dianna S.

Hello! My name is Dianna. I have been with Dr Hill and the Columbia Animal Clinic

since October of 2011. I graduated from Stautzenberger College in 2012 with an Associates in

Applied Science for Veterinary Technician. I am a Veterinary Assistant and the Office manager

here at the clinic.

I am the proud pet parent of two wonderful dogs named Cooper and Jaxson, and two

cats named Aidan and Morla. I have owned various other pets in the past including rabbits,

guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and a hedgehog.

When I am not at the clinic I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy

crafts such as crochet, painting pottery, drawing, and working with my Cricut machine. I enjoy

travelling and finding new places to explore.

Anna N.

Hi! My name is Anna. I began working at Columbia animal clinic in 2019. I graduated from Stautzenberger College in 2012 with my associate of applied science for veterinary technician and have been a registered veterinary technician since 2012 as well. In 2017, I decided to become a stay at home mom when my youngest was born. I’m very excited to get back in the swing of things and continue to pursue my passion for animals.

When I’m not at the clinic I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children who are 4 and 2. We also have a chihuahua named Raiden, 3 cats (misty, Hazy, and Percy), and a turtle named Tempi.

In my spare time I like to read, go on hiking adventures, garden, and go to the zoo!

Layla M.

I was born and raised in Cleveland before I moved to North Olmsted where I currently reside. I am the second of five children and a lover of all animals, but most importantly of my own cats.

I have over three years of experience handling animals and as a receptionist. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology at CSU and I am working toward a certificate in veterinary technology.

Karen S.

I began my career in the equine industry, graduating from Lake Erie College with a bachelors in Equine Facility Management and have since loved getting to learn all aspects of animal care. That brought me to Columbia Animal Clinic in 2023 where I am a veterinary assistant and can combine my love of cats with my curiosity for learning.

I can always be counted on for a knee-slapping dad joke or to join in on karaoke night. In my free time, I enjoy doing puzzles with my cats Vandal and Juniper, or grazing my horse Daisy.

Lauren T.

Hello! I'm Lauren and I've been in and out of the veterinary field for almost 20 years in various different roles. There hasn't been a moment in my life that I haven't had a pet and I've been passionate about animals from a young age. I love them all but I have a soft spot for pugs, black cats, and pocket pets.

In my free time I enjoy writing, listening to music, rooting for the Cleveland Guardians, and can almost always be found under my cat Revy who is my shadow.
