Kristenna is originally from Virginia and needed and change from humid summers and freezing winters so she made her way to Las Vegas. She became a veterinary assistant due to her passion for animals and an interest in science and medicine. Kristenna enrolled in a veterinary medicine program at NOVA and began working in an animal hospital environment to further understand her studies. In that role, she also discovered that she enjoys the challenge of working closely with the doctor to help diagnose and treat our patients.

Her family, though far away, consists of her father who worked for the Pentagon as an IT tech, her stay at home mother, her artistic grandmother and her grandfather who was a teacher and a woodworker. She doesn't currently own any pets as she is new to Las Vegas and needs a place to settle into but will add to her family soon. Kristenna enjoys painting, hiking and swimming when she is not helping patients.
