Hello, my name is Katie.  I've been a technician here since 2003, and plan to be here for a long time to come.  In 1999, I graduated from Madison Area Technical College with an associate's degree.  I then became a Certified Veterinary Technician.  All through my childhood I knew that I wanted a career with animals and was very excited when I learned about veterinary technicians in high school.  I got a job cleaning kennels at a local vet when I was 15 and never looked back.  I have found this to be a very rewarding and enjoyable career.

                                                                   

I live with my husband Mike in the Lake Geneva area.  We've been married since 2005 and recently welcomed our first child, an adorable little girl named Claire. She has really made our family whole.  We also have a Labrador Retriever named Gunner and an older cat, Mo.  (update:  Gunner passed away suddenly Jan 08. We will miss him everyday.)  We have a new puppy, named Maggie, joining our family soon.  She is a black lab, one of Gunner's babies born Jan 2, 2008.  We enjoy heading to the north woods for getaways, watching Packer games, taking rides on our Harley, and spending time with family and friends.
