New Nurse on staff: Kayla!

Interview by Zoe Forward,DVM, Dipl. ABVP

 

Welcome our new nurse, Kayla. We sat down for an interview to find out a bit more about her.

Kayla is a Carolina native, although she lived in California for a couple of years where she assisted in veterinary surgeries and dentals daily. She’s been in the field for four years as a veterinary nurse. She enjoys veterinary denistry and caring for hospitalized patients. Her passion in the field is rehabilitation. She plans to start veterinary tech school in the fall. She’s got a menagerie of pets: a cockatiel named Elvis, cat named Gracie, blue doberman named Chyanne  and lab/Australian shepherd mix named Harley. In her spare time she visits the gym, hikes and fishes.  

 

Dr. Forward:  What can you tell us that’s not in your bio?

Kayla: I am a gym rat and have an obsession with dobermans. Also I love food, big foodie. 

 

Dr. Forward: A foodie? Any particular favorites?

Kayla: Just food! I’ll try anything once. Love…love, love Mexican food.

Dr. Forward: What’s your most memorable funny pet work moment?

Kayla: Funny pet moment in the field was a Brussels griffin name Wooki who was groomed to look like the Wooki from Star Wars.

 

Dr. Forward: I can totally see the resemblance. What’s your favorite aspect of veterinary medicine?

Kayla: My favorite is seeing the progress of a patient and the rehabilitation of patients. 

 

Dr. Forward: Pick two celebrities to be your parents. Who are they and why?

Kayla: Liam Neeson and Melissa McCarthy, because I would never get taken and I'd never run out of money and identities on road trips! LOL. 

 

 

Dr. Forward: Liam Neeson is *awesome*! J I know you love The Walking Dead. If the zombie apocalypse hit tomorrow what would you do?

Kayla: I would hole up with my boyfriend riding around in his Chevy dual wielding twelve gauges and scissor kicking day walkers in the face. LOL.

 

Now for some fun.

Fast FIVE:

Summer or Winter: summer

Coffee or Tea: sweat tea

Car or Truck: tank for the zombie  apocalypse, or just a truck would do
