Kelsey has been a part of the Westonka Animal Hospital team since 2014. She graduated in 2008 from The Art Institutes International Minnesota with an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Graphic Design. Having worked free lance and retail after college for a while, she found her true passion in veterinary medicine. Everything from handling wiggly pets, to monitoring surgeries, to being the former administrative assistant and inventory manager had been extremely rewarding. She took a step back in 2020 when her daughter was born to be a full-time stay-at-home mom, but missed veterinary life and is still working part-time as a veterinary assistant with the Westonka team. She enjoys drawing, painting, gardening, fishing, and spending time with her husband and daughter. She has one black and white tuxedo cat named Louise who was actually found as a kitten on the Dakota Trail here in Mound. She is excited to keep seeing all of the old and new faces of both clients and patients that walk through the doors
