Kelly, CVT and Practice Manager

Kelly was born in Vermont and raised in Arizona, where animals provided a steady sense of safety and unconditional love throughout her upbringing. She attended Farmington Community College, earning her Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology, and began a diverse career spanning general practice, pet insurance, and high-intensity specialty surgery.

While Kelly has spent the majority of her career in emergency and specialty medicine, Her perspective shifted during a pivotal moment in a busy emergency department: while helping a family say goodbye to their pet, she realized that slowing down to offer true presence and dignity was just as vital as any medical intervention. This experience defined her mission to transform the "worst moments" of pet ownership into a peaceful, supported transition.

Kelly is dedicated to ensuring families feel empowered and comforted during their most difficult times. Having guided her own pets through their final transitions at home surrounded by their siblings, she is deeply committed to providing that same sanctuary, grace, and compassion to every family she serves.
