Kiesha’s journey in the veterinary field is a testament to her lifelong passion for animal care.

In 2017, she transitioned into the veterinary medicine industry, initially working in a general practice clinic. Eager to broaden her skills and knowledge, Kiesha later shifted her focus to emergency medicine, where she could apply her expertise in high-pressure situations and make a significant impact on animal lives.
