Meet Kelsey Brown

“Over my 17 years at the Veterinary Medical Center (VMC), I’ve worked with great supervisors and coworkers in radiology, the intensive care unit, the emergency room, and now primary care. The benefits at the University can’t be beat, and I’ve been able to grow my knowledge through continuing education opportunities and onsite experience. Being able to apply what I’ve learned to help teach interns and students is another reward of working at the VMC.

“But with all that in mind, my absolute favorite part of my job is helping animals and their humans.”—Kelsey Brown, Animal Care Tech Specialist, AFSCME Unit 7 - Technical, pictured here with Grace White (L), a veterinary medicine student
