Kris
Hospital Manager, CVT
Kris joined the Animal Hospital of Ashwaubenon in 1992 as a Certified Veterinary Technician. She went into management in 2008 and loves the business side of Veterinary medicine almost as much as the patient care side.
Kris’s favorite part of her workday is inventory management and interacting with the clinic’s clients and their beloved pets. She has a special interest in canine behavior and senior pet wellness. Her childhood cat lived to be 21 and she currently has a very active 14 yr old senior dog named Spike.
Kris recently adopted a new black and white kitty who goes by the very generic name of “Kitty”. She said he is the naughtiest of all the kittens she has had in her life. He chews on everything, gets on the counters, makes a mess at his food plate, yet she says he is the purrfect cat because he has brought so much love into her family’s life with his biscuit making paws and his loud, rumbling purr.
Alison
Lead Certified Veterinary Technician
Alison grew up in the Shawano County area and always loved spending time with animals when she was younger. Her neighbors had a small farm where she would spend time taking care of the farm’s calves, kittens, and dogs. She always knew that she wanted to work with animals when she was growing up.
Alison attended the Veterinary Technician program at Fox Valley Technical College, which was the first year this program was available to the Fox Valley area. She graduated from FVTC in 2021 and joined the team at Ashwaubenon in June of 2021.

Wyatt
Veterinary Assistant
As a native of Northern Louisiana, I've developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors and a strong work ethic through my experiences on farms, where I've worked with horses, cattle, and other animals. This rural upbringing, combined with my athletic background in football and track/field, has instilled in me a passion for hard work, teamwork, and compassion for living creatures. I'm currently pursuing a career as a veterinary technician, with a long-term goal of working with wildlife.
When I'm not studying or working, you can find me hiking, camping, or exploring the great outdoors with my family. I'm also an avid weightlifter and enjoy spending time with friends playing Dungeons & Dragons. As a husband and father to a young daughter named Wynona, I prioritize family time and cherish the moments we share together. My love for the Green Bay Packers brings me joy and excitement, and I'm grateful to call Wisconsin home. I'm excited to bring my skills and passion to a career that makes a positive impact on the lives of animals and the people who care for them.
