Registered Veterinary Technician
Hi everyone!! My name is Adara Schauman. I’m originally from Evansville, IN where I grew up in an animal-loving family. I graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Animal Science & Veterinary Technology. When I moved to Indianapolis I went into speciality medicine, ophthalmology, for about 6 years. Now I’m at Parkside! I’m very passionate about animals, especially my family dog Addie. Addie is the best dog in all the land! My favorite breed are Labrador Retrievers!
I also enjoy all sports and hanging out with my friends and family especially during the summer time!
Danae joined the Parkside staff April of 2018. She graduated from IUPUI with a degree in Biology to pursue her love for animals. From the time she could walk, she would chase any cat or dog she saw to try to get them to love her (much to their chagrin). She worked in the veterinary field for 5 years until switching over to human medicine. It was then that she discovered no job could ever fulfill her like veterinary medicine. When she is not at work, you can find her outdoors hiking or inside painting or drawing. She has one pup at home named Luna whose interests are chasing squirrels, murdering squeaky toys and curling up on the couch next to her favorite human.
Kate is originally from Findlay, Ohio, where she grew up with many pets including a dog, cats, gerbils and guinea pigs. Kate has always enjoyed caring for animals, and she pursued this passion by attending the Veterinary Technology program at the University of Cincinnati. After graduating in 2020, Kate moved to Indiana to work at Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Hospital as a small and large animal anesthesia technician. After gaining experience in the university setting, she became a member of the Parkside team in 2022. She enjoys meeting clients and helping them strengthen the human-animal bond with their pets. In her free time, Kate enjoys gardening, hiking, furniture restoration, antiquing, and caring for her cat Yeti!
