Tara
Tara has been with Copper Country Veterinary Clinic for over 10 years. She joined the clinic as a client service representative in 2010 but her passion and drive made her eager to learn every area of the practice, which eventually led to her role as Practice Manager. She was also able to pursue her certification in veterinary practice management (CVPM) and successfully became certified in 2020. Tara helps to coach the team, implement policies and protocols, manage finances, oversees inventory, marketing, and overall organization of the practice. Tara’s ultimate goal in veterinary medicine is to give the community access to gold standard medicine while using state of the art techniques and equipment, as well as providing upstanding customer service.
In her free time, Tara enjoys spending time outdoors doing activities such as cross-country skiing, rollerblading, kayaking, motocross with her son, and spending time on Lake Superior.
She shares her home with two cats, Oliver and Porsche.
Callie
Hi, I’m Callie Hindman. I grew up near LaCrosse, Wisconsin on a small hobby farm where I began raising and handling various animals. Growing up, I was an active member of 4-H and FFA; these organizations ultimately sparked my passion for seeking a career in animal care and welfare.
I moved to Houghton, Mi in 2015 and have lived here with my husband, daughter, and our two dogs, Shiloh and Odin. We bought a house in the area in 2018, and I was able to add another four-legged family member, my childhood horse Brandy. In May of 2019, I joined the Copper Country Veterinary Clinic patient care team. There I have been able to carry on my dream of working with animals while continuing my education and training in animal health and welfare.
Grace
Grace was born and raised on a small farm in Pelkie where she has owned and cared for a variety of animals her entire life. She has always had an interest in veterinary science, so she has always focused on biology/science classes. In 2018, she became a member of the Copper Country Vet team. She has the skills and heart to contribute both in the clinic and on farm calls. In her spare time, Grace spends most days riding and competing with her two horses, but also enjoys hiking, spending time on the beach, and spending time with her friends and family. She also recently became the owner of two rough collies-Branch and Forrest. Grace has the experience, knowledge, and compassion to give our clients and patients the care that they deserve.

Hi there! My name is Hailey and I am a proud member of the CCVC pack. When I’m not taking care of our clients fur babies-I enjoy outdoor adventures with my 3 large dogs, yoga, traveling, gardening and crafts of all varieties. After living in Alaska for a couple years, I couldn’t resist moving back to the UP. The wilderness and kind spirit of the Yooper life is like know where else. Thanks for reading, hope to serve you and your pets with optimal care!
Hope
I am Hope Haaland. I have been with the Copper Country Veterinary Clinic since 1995. I came here for my Vocational Training, then this place became my life. I love being an employee at the Copper Country Veterinary Clinic! My heart has always drifted towards spending everyday with fussy animals. I love knowing that I am someone that can help owners care for their loved ones.
Madison
Madison just joined our team in 2020 after graduating from Michigan Tech with a degree in wildlife biology. After a short break, she would eventually like to continue her education in veterinary science. Madison fell in love with the area and decided there was no better place to live. Her mother always called her Dr. Doolittle from such a young age for her love of animals and their attraction to her. She loves to be outside and go on hikes, occasionally with her rescued kitty Arctic. However, she loves all of the clinic pets!
