Kathleen

Kathleen grew up in Ventura County then went off to college at CSU Monterey and returned just before the Covid pandemic shut the world down. She has always had a strong sense of protection for animals because they have no voice, but such a vibrant personality. Kathleen is currently going to school to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and will graduate in 2026! She is very interested in specializing in exotics animal care because she feels they need more protecting. Kathleen grew up with all different type of species like dogs, guinea pigs, frogs, rabbits, hamsters and rats. In her free time, she loves teaching herself new skills like knitting, crocheting and music theory. Kathleen is also a writer and was published when she was in high school. Animals have been a constant in Kathleen life but when the pandemic happened, she didn’t have any pets and she realized how much she missed having furry companions, she had previously volunteered at the animal shelter, and love it so she began to explore a career working with animals. Now she has finished her first year as a vet assistant and she’s looking forward to working with exotics animals.
