Kari is a Colorado native born and raised in Colorado Springs. From a young age, she has always had a strong desire to help those in need; four-legged or two-legged, while being surrounded by animals large and small for the majority of her life as a former 4-H member. She recently graduated from Colorado Mountain College in 2022 with her Associates of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology and received her CVT in July. Kari’s career goals consist of orthopedic medicine, radiology, and zoo/wildlife conservation. In her free time, you’ll find Kari painting/drawing, doing yoga, tending to her house plants, and adventuring the outdoors with her boyfriend, Grayson. Although she currently has one rabbit named Krylon, there is a long list of many pets she strives to own and care for in the near future [citation].
