Veterinary Assistant

Kristina L.

Kristina has been a veterinary assistant at our clinic for nearly a year and is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care to each and every patient. She grew up in New York and came to Iowa to earn her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Iowa State University. Since graduating in December 2025, she has been pursuing her veterinary technician certification to further expand her knowledge and clinical skills within the veterinary field.

Kristina has always known she wanted a career working with animals as she could not imagine a day without being around them. She enjoys assisting with patient care, supporting the veterinary team, and helping create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. Her commitment to continued learning and professional growth reflects her dedication to delivering excellent care to each patient.

Outside of the clinic, Kristina enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, and being with family and friends. She does not have any pets currently but a puppy is not too far away in her future. Kristina is proud to be part of the veterinary team and looks forward to continuing her growth and development within the profession.
