Christine Akers Practice Manager

Christine joined Bowman Animal Hospital in 2000. She graduated from North Carolina State University in 2004 with a degree in Sociology and Environmental Sciences. She says her love for animals and people were always a passion that came naturally. Her first childhood dog was a Standard Dachshund named Chiggers but she loves them all – short, tall, fuzzy, small – and that’s no lie!

Her favorite part of her job is meeting new people and educating pet owners to ensure our companion animals live happy, healthy long lives. She loves making lasting friendships with owners and their pets. Throughout the years, all of her pets, currently three dogs and three cats, have found their way into her heart and home after being rescued.

When not at work, Christine enjoys gardening and kayaking. Relaxing in a hammock or on the beach with a good book is not a bad way to spend the day either. She can often be found with her husband Ken, listening to music or watching their daughter, Maggie, play volleyball.
