Let’s give it up for the team who makes all the magic happen.
As the Practice Manager at Indy Paws Veterinary Hospital, Kerri brings a deep-rooted passion for animal care and advocacy. She has been a Registered Veterinary Technician since 2010 and has dedicated her career to giving animals the voice and care they deserve. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, Kerri is proud to support the Indy Paws team and clients in providing the highest quality care.
At home, she is married with three amazing daughters (though not all are still at home) who keep life fun and busy. Her home is also filled with four lovable (and very different!) dogs: Cain, our sweet pit bull rescue; Peter Parker, an adorably chubby dachshund; Capone, a spunky Jack Russell; and Dior, her stylish and sassy Frenchie. When Kerri is not at the hospital, you can find her crafting, embracing all things spooky, exploring amusement parks, or soaking in the magic of Disney.
