Veterinary Technicians

My husband Tim and I moved to Arizona from Illinois in 1994 to enjoy the wonderful Arizona weather. I worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital in Illinois and as a receptionist at an animal hospital in Prescott shortly after moving to Arizona. I joined the Kachina Animal Hospital team in December of 2011 and enjoy working with the different patients and their owners that we see everyday. I have been in the veterinary field for over 25 years and have been a certified veterinary technician since 2000. In my spare time, I love being outdoors, especially riding my horse on the trails around my home. My husband and I have many “kids” including horses, dogs, cats, geese, ducks, chickens, and an ornamental turkey.

Hey there! I’m Sativa! I’ve been a part of the Kachina family since March 2016 . It has definitely been a long journey but I couldn’t ask for a better team by my side. I’ve always wanted to be a part of the animal field and Kachina has made it such a great experience jumping into this world. I’ve worked hard and have moved from an animal caregiver position to now a veterinary assistant. When I’m not at Kachina you can more so find me at home with my old man Lance who is a 9 yr old Rottweiler mix and his best friend Lily who is a year and a half old blue heeler. As well as some giant fish tanks, and a few tarantulas. Oh ya, and a boyfriend somewhere in this mix. I’m a huge family girl. They mean everything to mean. We are one of those close families that are constantly together or talking every day in some way. I love it! I wouldn’t change that for the world. I’m always one to throw out the positive vibes. You’ll usually never see without a smile and flashing a peace sign. 

I have been a veterinary technician since 1999.  It is what I was born to do!  I'm a proud Nana of 8 grand babies!  I love reading, horseback riding, hiking and gardening.  I have one horse, five cats and one dog.  I'm so very excited to meet your four legged friends and you!

Hello, I am Addison.  I joined the Kachina team in June 2023 after moving to PV from Washington state where I worked as a Veterinary Assistant.  My husband and I have 6 'fur' babies.  A one-eyed geriatric Tabby, a senior Maine Coon mix, my Mastiff, German Shepherd and a Pitty.  They all make by house a home.  When you come to Kachina Animal Hospital we treat your pets like family regardless of age, breed or temperament.  So come on down for love, help and belly rubs for all.

Hi my name is Dakota!  I was born and raised in Prescott.  I have 2 dogs, Ruger and Buddy, and 3 turtles.  I have always loved animals and grew up around dogs, horses, etc. and being a veterinarian has always been my dream.  I currently have my bachelor's degree in Zoology and will be going to vet school to become an equine vet.  But when I'm not working on my career, I am hanging out with family and friends, my animals, or camping.  You might find me more at the gym, though!

Bio coming soon...

Hi my name is Destiny.  I have one dog and two cats.  I've lived in Arizona for over 10 years now and I absolutely love it here.  I enjoy going on hikes with my dog and I love art.  I've been wanting to work with animals my whole life.  I'm so excited for this opportunity and step into the Veterinary field.  One day I hope to become a Veterinarian!
