Krystine, a California native from Lancaster, has been an animal lover since she was a small child. So it was no surprise that she fell in love with Vet Med while volunteering as a kennel assistant in 2010 at the American Naples Veterinary Clinic while she was serving her last tour in the US Navy in Naples, Italy. Shortly from there, she attended Pima Medical Institute- Chula Vista, graduating with honors and a Directors Award as well as her AS for veterinary medicine, becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. She specializes in emergency, dermatology, and general practice surgery, giving credit to her many years in a well renowned specialty and emergency hospital in San Diego. She does enjoy the connections she makes with the families and pets she meets along her journey in her career.

Krystine enjoys quiet evenings in her sleepy town of Ramona with their bundle of fur kids. She’s a vintage enthusiast who enjoys volunteering or fundraising for pets and animals that need that loud voice to speak up for them. She’s never met a cat she doesn’t like and is always ready for a challenge.
