Kristina has been with Companion Animal Dental Services since September 2022. She earned her Associates of Science degree in Animal Science in 2021 and her Bachelor's of Science degree in Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Connecticut in 2024. She first started working with us as an intern/vet assistant and has moved up to being a vet tech. During her time at UConn, she has primarily worked with large animals, but has found that her passion resides in helping small companion animals. While she loves working beside the doctor at the surgery table, she enjoys working with clients and the business aspect of veterinary medicine. She enjoys reading books and spending time with her cats, Mooky and Splash. She also spends her free time painting pet portraits [citation][3].
