She then continued to vet school at Lincoln Memorial University in the Appalachian Mountains, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2023.

Gina

Office Manager

Gina has been working in the veterinary field since 1982 and has been with AHVC since 2000. She has always had a strong passion for animals. Growing up in Warrenton, VA she was an avid equestrian and competed in Hunter/Jumper horse shows. Later, as an adult, she and our assistant office manager, Robin, became friends and partnered to become breeders and exhibitors of Labrador Retrievers in AKC conformation shows. They were blessed to have had a few of the top winning Labs in the nation at that time.

Now-a-days, the majority of Gina and Charlie’s spare time is consumed with their greatest passion which is scuba diving. They love traveling and searching for the next great wreck, reef, or ocean to explore.

Together they have two children, Cole and Sydney, a grandson, Finley, and a granddaughter, Charlotte. They have two furbaby kitties, Pippa and Posh.

After all these years, Gina still loves working with animals and people as much as she did on her first day in the veterinary field.

Robin

Assistant Office Manager

Robin's love for animals began as a child and her love of veterinary medicine started as a teenager when she began working at Air Harbor Veterinary Clinic. In 2002, after 20 wonderful years here at the clinic, Robin and her husband, Gary, moved to Virginia where she continued her career path in the field of veterinary medicine. In 2018, after 16 years away, they moved back to Charleston. She still enjoys her career path and is very happy to be back "home" at Air Harbor Veterinary Clinic. In her spare time, you are most likely to find Robin spending time with her sweet boys, Curtis, a labrador retriever, and Gunny, her horse.
