Kendra joined the Kindness team in July 2025 as one of our Veterinary Technicians, bringing four years of experience and valuable knowledge from her previous clinic. Her journey to becoming a licensed veterinary technician began with her lifelong love for animals and the desire to work with them rather than humans. Wanting a rewarding career that allowed her to start quickly after high school, Kendra earned her degree in just two years—an achievement that helped her launch into a fulfilling career she’s never looked back from. She has a special interest in cattle artificial insemination and feline urinary issues, and her typical days include assisting with surgeries and dental procedures in the mornings, followed by lab work, blood draws, radiographs, nail trims, and ear cleanings in the afternoons. Kendra finds the most inspiring part of her job is being able to advocate for patients who can’t speak for themselves and educating clients about the depth of veterinary medicine. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her three dogs—Chuck, a 4-year-old chocolate lab; Larry, a 2-year-old yellow lab adopted from Circle of Friends; and Mackie, an 8-year-old she adopted during her second week of college. In her free time, Kendra loves plants, traveling, tattoos, and cows.
