Kelsey is a Texas native, who recently moved to San Diego in July 2021 from College Station. We were excited to have Kelsey become part of our technician team. She has 9 years of experience, working in various hospital roles such as customer service, head technician and operations management. Her vet assisting and surgery experience led her to VCA Aviara, and she is currently one of our primary room and surgery assistants. Kelsey studied animal science at Texas A&M but wanted first-hand experience before considering veterinary medical school. She fell in love working with animals in these roles.

Kelsey is Fear Free Certified. She spends a lot of time with her two dogs: Gavin, a 9-year-old mixed breed, and Troy, a 6-year-old Shepherd mix. She loves hiking, riding horses and watching TV.
