A proud Tampa Bay native, Kristen brings over 23 years of experience in the veterinary field. Her journey began at just 14 years old as a kennel technician, and through hard work and passion, she’s built a dynamic career spanning emergency, critical care, surgery, vaccine clinics, general practice, and now, leadership in management.
Kristen is deeply grateful for the incredible opportunities this field has provided and is passionate about creating a positive environment for both pets and their people.
Outside of the hospital, Kristen is a devoted mom to her daughter, Addison, and shares her home with a lively bunch of pets—Stark (a terrier mix also known as Ironman), Eddie (a bold Chihuahua who’s convinced he’s a Rottweiler), and two ball pythons, Alucard and Akasha.
In her free time, Kristen is a music lover, movie fanatic (with a special love for horror), and always up for a beach day or kayaking trip. She enjoys exploring new foods, cooking up creative dishes, and cherishing every moment spent with her daughter.
