Kellie
Certified Veterinary TechnicianHailing from Riverside, CA, Kellie has always known that working with animals was her calling in life. From growing up glued to Animal Planet, to doting on her Papillon pup, Angel, to attending a career camp at SeaWorld, where she watched veterinarians rescue and rehabilitate wildlife, Kellie realized early on that helping animals live their best lives was what she was meant to do. Now, as a certified veterinary technician, she’s living her lifelong dream and loving every minute!
Kellie’s passion for animals led her to Mt. San Antonio College, where she graduated from the Animal Science program in June 2019. By November of that same year, she had officially earned her RVT certification, launching her into a fulfilling career in veterinary medicine. In February of 2025, Kellie joined Valley Animal Hospital, bringing over five years of experience in the field and an endless enthusiasm for improving the lives of pets and their owners.
One of Kellie’s favorite aspects of being a veterinary technician is participating in surgeries. There’s something deeply rewarding about watching veterinarians pinpoint and fix the source of a pet’s pain, knowing that each procedure helps them return to living a happy, healthy life. Whether assisting the doctors, providing hands-on care, or ensuring pets are as comfortable as possible, Kellie is dedicated to making a difference in every patient’s journey.
Outside of work, Kellie is always up for an adventure, whether it’s a trip to Disneyland, a night at the movies with friends, or spending quality time with her family. Summers are best spent at the river, a cherished tradition from childhood. From zipping across the water on jet skis to lounging on her family’s pontoon boat, enjoying lunch and laughter, there’s simply no better way to unwind.
