Kimberly started her career at VCA Emergency Animal Hospital in 1992, as a new RVT graduate from Mesa College. She has been part of the Surgery service since 1995. In 2003, she completed schooling to become a surgery technician at Kaiser Permanente Hospital. After three years "on the human side" and two babies later, Kimberly returned to the veterinary field for a better work/life balance. While working at Kaiser, Kimberly did learn that surgery, whether with humans or animals, is above all about the personal experience of the patient and their families.
As an RVT, Kimberly enjoys caring for the patients during and after surgeries the most. She wanted to continue to assist owners while their beloved pets are hospitalized and a new role was created. As a doctor assistant coordinator, Kimberly is able to assist the surgeons and advocate for owners in all aspects of the surgical experience here at VCA Emergency Animal Hospital & Referral Center.
Kimberly is supported by her amazing husband, equally amazing grown teenagers, and some of the cutest pets you'll ever meet.
