Today we're highlighting Katie. Katie has been working at Corning Animal Hospital since 2024. She graduated from Alfred State College earning her degree in Veterinary Technology in 2020.

When asked why she chose to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, she said, "I have wanted to work with animals ever since I was in the 4th grade, I have always had a passion for them and knew I was destined to work with them some way some how. I decided after the military to go to college and knew this was my calling for sure."

The part of the job that Katie finds most rewarding is finding the difficult patients that are hard to deal with and slowly earning their trust.

Outside of work Katie's whole life revolves around animals, she love to rescue, earn the trust of, and find loving homes for feral cats. She owns a ton of reptiles and exotics and adores learning more and rebuilding their habitats in her house. She also likes to create areas in her yard where wildlife can live and thrive such as pollinator gardens, toad abodes, and watering holes. One thing she does that doesn't involve animals is gaming, she like everything from cute games like Animal Crossing to management style games like Planet Zoo.

A fun fact about Katie is that she learned to overcome her fear of spiders by forcing herself to interact with and save them.

Thank you Katie for all of your hard work!

Kristen went to Alfred State College and earned her Veterinary Technician degree in 2022. She passed her national and state licensing exams shortly after.

When asked what inspired her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine she said, "I always wanted a career in veterinary medicine, I was the kid who would get excited about bringing their pets to the vet and knew the life cycle of a flea by the time I was in 3rd grade. In addition, I would always bring animals home, whether it was a stray cat or a frog out by our pond."

Kristens favorite part of the job is creating relationships with clients and getting to know each pet personally throughout their life.

Some of Kristens hobbies include watching movies and playing video games with her cats, Groot and Binx. Some of her favorite games are Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Pokopia. She also loves spending time outside of work with her two dogs, Winnie and Kenai.
