Crystal grew up in Kamloops, BC and completed the Veterinary Technology program at TRU there. Crystal began her journey in the veterinary industry in shelter medicine - she wants to improve the lives of all animals she comes in contact with, as well as the people who love them. Her goal with every patient visit is to enhance the human-animal bond, and ensure the best care possible for the animal and their family. She lives with her husband J, her daughter Miranda, and her menagerie of pets: 3 dogs and 4 cats! She is a loving fur mom to Pepper and Gizzy the Inca Orchid dogs and Einstein the Chihuahua Mix, and 4 rescue kitties from the SPCA: Zoot, Lucy, Wil and Pekoe!
