Born and raised in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Brandy O’Brien has always had a deep-rooted love for animals and a strong dedication to their care. Her first job was on a farm in Mount Holly, North Carolina, where she developed an early appreciation for hands-on animal work, responsibility, and the quiet trust that builds between people and the animals in their care.
Brandy holds an Associate Degree from Horry-Georgetown Technical College, along with a Veterinary Assistant Certification. She also completed coursework toward a Bachelor of Arts in Communications at the University of South Carolina.

She is especially passionate about helping pets feel safe, understood, and as comfortable as possible during their visits.
At home, Brandy shares her life with her deaf dog, Daphne—an experience that has deepened her appreciation for nonverbal communication, patience, and trust in animal care.
Outside of work, Brandy enjoys gaming—both video games and tabletop RPGs—collecting and watching classic films, and reading anything she can get her hands on.
Brandy is proud to serve the Myrtle Beach community and is committed to continuing to grow in veterinary medicine while providing compassionate, attentive care to every patient she meets.
