Blue Ridge Pet Clinic has a special place in Dr. Burke’s heart as she started working here in 2004 at the age of 14. She worked her way up from kennel assistant to now the practice owner. She met her husband while working at Blue Ridge. He was a veterinary technician. She focuses on the veterinary client relationship and enjoys partnering with clients to achieve the best care for their animals.

In her free time, Dr. Burke loves spending time with her husband and two children exploring the beautiful White Mountains. She enjoys camping, fishing, and hiking with her two golden retrievers. She also has two cats and tortoise waiting at home (they don’t enjoy hiking as much). She and her husband are involved in their church family and the community. She will occasionally umpire for Blue Ridge softball games. She also loves traveling and visiting as much of the world as possible. She loves the White Mountains and looks forward to helping it be a great place.
Dr. Jordan Clark
Jordan Clark, DVM
Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Jordan Clark grew up in Hahira, GA on a horse farm. She quickly became passionate about animals. Dr. Clark graduated from Valdosta State University with a Biology Degree and then thankfully was accepted into the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. During vet school, Dr. Clark became heavily involved with the Christian Veterinary Mission, which lead her to take several vet mission trips to the local White Mountain Apache Reservation. These connections lead her to apply at Blue Ridge Pet Clinic after graduation.
Dr Clark’s favorite part of being a veterinarian is encouraging people through their animals. She knew she was in the right profession when she took her first mission trip serving the Apache people in 2017.
Dr. Clark’s family includes her husband, Curtis and border collie mix, Lady. Even though a lot of her time is spent on dogs and cats, she also has a passion for equine medicine. Her favorite hobbies include traveling, visiting family back east, hiking the White Mountains, and Kayaking.
