Our Compassionate Team Members

Michelle Hanrahan
Practice Manager
Michelle grew up in Rochester, NY and earned her undergraduate degree at University of Buffalo. After that she spent 10 years in Manhattan working for a top Wall Street firm in their corporate Human Resources department. Michelle then moved to South Florida where she held other corporate HR positions and transitioned to veterinary management in 2007.
Michelle previously managed Acacia Animal Hospital from 2013-2019 and returned “home” in 2021. She enjoys the “family” culture at Acacia, which both staff and clients appreciate as well. Deep respect for the doctors and staff at Acacia – and the important work they do every day – is what inspires Michelle. She is proud to be part of such a great hospital.
Michelle is also a proud Mom of a Florida Gator, Class of 2023! Go Gators! She enjoys cooking and spending time with her family, friends and two rescue dogs, Mimi and Betty Boop!
