His ultimate goal is to serve and educate devoted pet owners and to contribute his expertise to animal shelters as a small animal veterinarian.
Kristin
Veterinary Assistant
I started out in the kennels in high school, then wanted to learn more about the anatomy/medicinal aspect for animals. I then became a technician and have been I love with it ever since! I went to Campbell University whilst working in Cary as a veterinary surgical/dental technician. I’ve worked at the Veterinary Specialty Hospital before moving to Franklinton to work for Oxford Veterinary Hospital so I could indulge more in my passion for dental procedures with Dr. Trudi Bowden (who is now a Veterinary Dental Practitioner at VDCNC!). I was fortunate to work with Dr. Laureen Bartfield and SNAP-NC assisting those in need of spaying/neutering their animals. I currently reside in Cary with my rottie/pit Carlton and my 3 cats Kibbles, Millie, and Aelita. When I’m not at work, I enjoy riding my motorcycle, playing and/or umpiring softball, traveling, and reading.
I’m very proud to say that I am Fear Free Certified, Low Stress Handling Certified, and a AAFP Cat Friendly Veterinary Practitioner!
