Kristin grew up just south of Calgary in High River, AB. She received the best of both worlds growing up being closer to the city but also spending ample time with the animals on her grandparents farm including everything from cats, dogs, hamsters, horses and cattle. After attending undergraduate studies at the University of Victoria in BC she was accepted into the veterinary program at the University of Saskatchewan. In 2006 she graduated with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Kristin has been working in companion animal practice in Calgary for the past 4 years and joined Country Hills Veterinary Clinic in February of 2010. She loves the experience of getting to work with a staff that truly cares about their patients and clients. Special interests for Kristin include dentistry and internal medicine cases like diabetics. In her spare time Kristin keeps active with rock-climbing, running, fitness classes and horseback riding. She also love to travel and has been all over the world from Thailand to Africa.
