Veterinary Receptionists

KJ

KJ
Veterinary Receptionist

KJ has always had a knack for caring. Whether it's for humans or animals she's always been involved. KJ started working with animals at the age of 12, volunteering her weekends to work at Apex Farms. She continued her love for animals volunteering at wildlife rescues and then going onto Carrington College. Her life then took a different path, as she went on to caregive for elderly and disabled adults, but now she has found her way back to her true calling, animals! KJ currently has a shihtzu-maltese named Squish. In her free time you most likely will find her laughing at something, enjoying a walk, taking some nature photos, or singing her heart out.

Faith Williams

Faith Williams
Veterinary Assistant

Faith has always loved animals. She started out at a very young age bottle feeding a goat, pigs, chickens, and horses. Faith started volunteering with the foster program and cleaning some kennels at Front Street Animal shelter in 2019. Her first vet job was working at a cats hospital in 2021 where she fell in love with working with animals in a veterinary setting.
 
One of her favorite things about the field is being able to advocate for an animal who doesn’t have a voice to let people know what's wrong with them. Being able to help an animal in need and being able to shower them with love all the time builds confidence in knowing that she is making a difference in the patient and owner's lives.
 
Faith is planning to attend school for her RVT license. She have a 1-year-old son, 13-year-old lab, Bella, and 3 cats -- Slurpee, Stripes, and Motley. One of her hobbies is crocheting.
