Receptionist
Kalie's Bio
Hi, I’m Kalie! I grew up here in Troy, and I’m currently going to school in Saint Charles. I started my first job working here at Animal Medical Center of Troy when I was 16 as a kennel assistant in boarding. I’ve grown up with many pets in the house, and this caused my love for animals, but working here has furthered my love for animals. Currently, I have two pets, a four year old chocolate lab and a Siamese cat. After two years in boarding, I moved up front to be a receptionist. I love meeting all of the unique dogs and cats that come in our doors, and can’t wait to meet many more.
