Client Service Representatives

I grew up in Barrington, Illinois, in the suburbs of Chicago.  Horses were my childhood passion and I spent most of my time horseback riding and working with polo ponies.   After high school I moved out west to attend college in Colorado and Arizona.  I have been working in the veterinary field since 2002, beginning as a receptionist at a small animal clinic in Tucson to an office manager at an animal hospital in Tempe to Practice Manager here at Kachina Animal Hospital.  After graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology, I moved up to the Prescott area to enjoy the cooler weather and all the outdoor adventures it has to offer.  At home I have two Terriers named Fenway & Sidda & a feisty Yorkipoo named Bubba.  In my free time I love camping, ATVing & gardening.

Hello there! I am a Prescott Native, born & raised. I have seen many changes in the area over the last 30++ years (wink, wink) but it is still my favorite place to be and I'm proud to call it home. I started in the veterinary field directly out of high school in '93. In this field I've tried it all - I started as a kennel attendant, moved to reception, tech'd for a short time, and even went into management. Since my passion is animals & family I have learned, over the years that the front office is the place for me. I cherish the relationships built with the fur babies and their families. I have many fur babies of my own including 'Emma' (in the pic) and I am the proud mom of 3 amazing daughters (and blessed with several 'bonus' daughters). We spend as much time as possible in our beautiful outdoors. I joined Kachina in 2014 and I am honored to be part of this amazing team! Come on in & say hi! 

Hi everyone, I'm Denise and I moved here a year ago with my 2 cats from central New York to enjoy Arizona's beautiful scenery and lovely weather!!  For the past 30 years animals have been both a passion and career and I am super excited to be part of the Kachina Animal Hospital family.  I look forward to meeting you all and helping to care for your extended family members.

I joined Kachina in 2019 as an Animal Caregiver with a desire to make a change from my prior career path. Working in the kennel opened my eyes to the world of animals and veterinary medicine.  You will now find me at the front desk as a Client Service Representative!  I always look forward to learning, new friends, and meeting all of our client’s fur babies. 

Hello!  I am an Arizona native.  I joined the Kachina family in 2014 as an Animal Caregiver.  I have also been a Client Service Representative, Veterinary Assistant and I am now the Lead Animal Caregiver!  I have 3 children, one dog, 3 birds and a cat.  

Hi, I'm Katie, a 20-something year old self proclaimed office comedian.  I try to find the good in every situation.  If I'm not working, you can catch me hiking or hanging out with my pets at home.  If you need a laugh, come find me!

Arizona born & raised.  Ever since I was young, I've had a passion for animals.  Whether it means they need a new look or to feel better, I'll be there to help.  I have four dogs of my own & a handful of fish.  I enjoy taking the dogs on hikes so they can run around like maniacs.
