Kristen

Kristen joined the Royal Ford team in 2023 as our client care representative! Kristen was born and raised in Oakville, ON. She told her parents she wanted to be a vet when she was 4 years old! She changed her mind when her first pet passed away, and eventually attended the University of Guelph, graduating in 2013 with a Psychology Honours degree. It wasn’t until she was laid off from her job during the pandemic that she was offered a job in a completely new field to her – veterinary medicine! She started working at a 24 hour emergency and specialty referral hospital and realized that she can handle the bad that comes with the good in the world of pets. She fell in love with working in vet med, and began a self-paced online RVT program earlier this year. She joined Royal Ford Veterinary Hospital in March 2023 and she loves working with such a tight knit and caring team. Outside of work, she spends most of her time reading, playing video games, and crafting while cuddling her two elderly yorkshipoos, Ozzy and Zoey, and her foster cat, Lincoln, who is a life-saving blood donor cat!
