Veterinary Technicians

Kaylee

Lead Technician

I am Kalyee, originally from the Bay area my family moved to Patterson right after high school. Before joining working with this team I was just going to Modesto Junior College for the Vet tech program while helping care for my grandmother. Since I was a kid I have grown a love for animals and raised rabbits, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, birds, chickens, goats, ducks and fish. Having the desire to work with animals, I was inspired to work in the vet industry.

Some of my favorite foods are Chicken and Strawberries with sugar. Coca Cola has also been my drink of choice. Things I enjoy doing are video games, long boarding, movies, sleep and hiking with my dog.

Adrionna

Veterinary Technician

My name is Adrionna. I was born in the Bay Area and lived there until the end of my 6th grade year and then moved to Patterson that summer. After moving to Patterson I joined FFA during High School. I also did basketball my freshman year as well as lip sync my junior year and agriculture leadership for a year.

As a kid I have always had a love for animals and wanted to help them. My parents have always supported me in my dreams and have motivated me to achieve them. My aunt, who I am very close to, has definitely inspired me to become a Vet Tech. She is a RVT.

Before becoming a part of the team, I enrolled at MJC to pursue my passion of being a Vet Tech. I am currently focused on getting my small and large animals certificates and plan to become an RVT.

Claudia

Veterinary Technician

I’ve always loved animals and wanted to be in a role where I could help both pets and their owners, which is what drew me to veterinary medicine. I enjoy helping people feel more at ease while keeping things running smoothly, especially during busy or stressful moments.

I stay calm under pressure, listen carefully, and make sure clients feel heard and supported. I stay organized by prioritizing tasks and staying one step ahead so the clinic can run efficiently.

I take pride in providing kind, clear, and reliable customer service while supporting the veterinary team however I can. Having pets of my own also helps me relate to clients and understand how much they care about their animals.

With experience in both veterinary technician duties and front-desk operations, I create a calm, welcoming environment while managing busy workflows and helping clients feel supported during stressful situations.

I am highly organized, adaptable, and a strong team player who steps in wherever needed to keep the clinic running smoothly. My experience as a pet owner gives me a deep understanding of the bond families share with their animals.
