Christine
Client Service Representative
When Christine was about 10, a beautiful friendship blossomed between her and Ms. Perry, an older woman who lived in the neighborhood. Ms. Perry had a cat named Ashleigh, an aloof old gentleman whom Christine was determined to win over. When Ashleigh developed a chronic illness, Christine began joining them on trips to the vet. There, she watched as the staff patiently handled Ashleigh and answered Ms. Perry’s questions. The experience stuck with Christine, and she knew she wanted to work in a field that would foster relationships like that.
While in high school, Christine really took to the subjects of natural science and marine biology. Her early career consisted of working in doggie daycares, kennels, and grooming facilities. Eventually, Christine worked her way up to the role of veterinary assistant. She stepped into the CSR role a few years ago and hasn’t looked back since. Professionally, Christine enjoys meeting clients and connecting with them through their pets. She has a special interest in cytology and behavior.
Outside of work, Christine lives with her son and a variety of pets. There’s Maxx Snuggs, a rescue dog from the Dominican Republic who looks a lot wiser than he is, and two cats: Louise and Luna. Louise is a sassy, chubby girl who has been with Christine since her first year in vet med. Luna, the eldest of the crew, keeps everyone in line with a firm paw. They also have two Mexican tarantulas, and a ball python named Bru. In her free time, Christine enjoys painting, writing, hiking, camping, and photography.
