For the love of medicine, pets, and people

Kelsey entered the veterinary field in 2013 as a receptionist and eventually moved into the nursing side of the practice which is where she fell in love with the medicine.  She became a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) in 2017.  She worked in a general practice before coming to DoveLewis to be the Blood Bank Director.  This position is just the right fit for Kelsey, who loves phlebotomy as well as building relationships with both the pets and their people.  Kelsey loves that her job gives her the opportunity to educate people about the need for blood products in veterinary medicine and network with many other clinics in the Portland area and beyond.
