Hi I’m Beth! I was born and raised in Huntington county Indiana. I played varsity basketball for HNHS and was active in FFA. I always knew I wanted to work in the veterinary field. So in high school I began working at a veterinary clinic. After high school I graduated from International Business College in 2007 with my associate’s degree in Veterinary Technology. I have worked in the veterinary field for 14 years. I am married and I have 3 children. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My children are active in archery and we enjoy going to their competitions and shooting as a family. I’m the proud fur momma to three spoiled dogs and one princess cat!! I love working here at Kem Rd because we have some of the best clients in town!!

I have two Heeler mixes Kodiak "Kodi" and Atlas that are full brothers from separate litters. I also have three orange cats, Peanut, Skittles, and Ammo. I have three nieces and one nephew that I have helped raise. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, and watching my niece run with USATF.
