We welcomed Krista to the Eye Clinic team in November 2018. She has been working in the veterinary field since 2015 and graduated from Pima Medical Institute's Veterinary Technician Program in 2018. She has been a licensed RVT since March 2018 and has been our Technician Supervisor since January 2020. Previously she was a Lead Technician at a busy six Doctor practice (Bodhi Animal Hospital) with over 10 technicians under her. In the past, Krista has done an externship at the Living Coast Discovery Center in Chula Vista in the Aviary Exhibit, where she would feed and rehabilitate birds along with educating visitors about the different species of birds there. As a young child, she grew up riding horses along with helping her uncle train his award winning short-haired Pointer bird hunting dogs. On her days off, she enjoys going to different wineries along with SUP boarding in Mission Bay with her friends and dog, Norman (3). Her family is a main priority to her and puts that mentality into every pet family she meets. At home, she also has a cat named Kora (8).
