Merrick Axel liked thisMaya- it was a privilege having you intern with us this summer. Thank you for your hard work, contributions, and professionalism. Best of luck at school and during track this year!Merrick Axel liked thisThis summer, I had the opportunity to intern at Lincoln Liberty Capital, where I was able to gain firsthand experience in the private equity industry. Throughout my internship, I learned more about the different aspects of private equity, gained exposure to real world projects, and had the opportunity to learn from an incredibly knowledgeable team. I especially enjoyed being able to ask questions, hear about different career paths, and better understand what goes into the work behind the scenes. I’m very grateful to everyone at Lincoln Liberty who took the time to teach me, answer my questions, and make me feel welcomed throughout the summer. This experience allowed me to grow both professionally and personally and gave me valuable insight as I continue exploring my interests within business. A special thank you to Pat Auveek Basu, MD, MBA for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to learn from him and the entire Lincoln Liberty team. I’m excited to take everything I learned with me as I head into my sophomore year at Miami University! Thank you, Lincoln Liberty, for a great summer!

Merrick Axel liked thisMerrick Axel liked thisOne of the most rewarding parts of this profession is seeing the different paths that bring people into our hospitals and the impact they go on to make. Ruth Haney's journey with Pine Ridge Equine Hospital is a great example. She first came to Pine Ridge as a client and experienced firsthand the level of care, compassion, and expertise the team provided. Today, she serves as Practice Manager, working alongside our doctors, technicians, and support staff to help ensure every client and patient receives that same exceptional experience and continually looking for ways to make it even better. This past weekend, Ruth stepped into the show ring and delivered an impressive performance, earning three Top 5 finishes, including a 3rd-place finish in large, highly competitive regional classes. Competing both under saddle and in-hand, she and her horse had a fantastic weekend against some strong competition. What makes accomplishments like this even more impressive is balancing the demands of leading a busy equine hospital with the dedication, preparation, and commitment required to compete successfully. Anyone involved with horses knows that the ribbons are earned long before show day through countless hours of hard work and consistency. Ruthie's story is one I love to share because it reflects what makes our industry special. She went from trusting Pine Ridge with the care of her own horse to helping lead the team that now provides that care to others every day. Congratulations, Ruthie, on a fantastic weekend in the ring and thank you for everything you do for Pine Ridge Equine Hospital, our clients, patients, and team members. We're proud to have you on the team. #EquineMedicine #EquestrianLife #HorseShow #PracticeManagement #Leadership #TeamSpotlight #PineRidgeEquine #NVAEquine
