Kristen has been surrounded by animals her whole life—starting out at a pet shop, then becoming a doggie daycare manager, and now working as a talented veterinary technician. She graduated from the University of Tampa with a double major in Biology and Chemistry (talk about brains and heart!). Originally from Indiana, she made the sunny move to Tampa in 2017 and never looked back.

For the past three years, Kristen has worked closely with Dr. Suarez, assisting in acupuncture treatments and traveling to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed right in their own homes. Whether it’s cuddles, care, or calming treatments, Kristen brings warmth and expertise to every furry friend she meets.
