Veterinary Receptionists

KJ

KJ
Lead CSR

KJ has always had a knack for caring. Whether it's for humans or animals she's always been involved. KJ started working with animals at the age of 12, volunteering her weekends to work at Apex Farms. She continued her love for animals volunteering at wildlife rescues and then going onto Carrington College. Her life then took a different path, as she went on to caregive for elderly and disabled adults, but now she has found her way back to her true calling, animals! KJ currently has a shihtzu-maltese named Squish. In her free time you most likely will find her laughing at something, enjoying a walk, taking some nature photos, or singing her heart out.

Graduating with a degree in animal science, she says one thing that motivates her in veterinary medicine is her ability to connect with people through their pets.
