Karli is a certified veterinary technician originally from Greenville, SC with 4 years of experience at several veterinary hospitals. Most of her time has been spent as a surgical technician assisting the veterinarian with everything from routine spays and neuters to emergency surgeries. We are so excited she decided to make Florida her home and join the West Park Animal Hospital Team! Karli already brings a ton technical skills to the table, but her thirst for knowledge is what really sets her apart. Her ultimate goal is to be a well-rounded technician who can help any animal with any problem.

Karlie has 3 four-legged family members at home. Bentley is her 3 yr old Lab/Golden/Great Pyrenees mix, who Karli describes as crazy but super sweet. Then there is her biggest cuddle bug out of the group, Wilma, a 5 yr old Beagle. Finally, there is Moesby, her 2 yr old tuxedo cat who thinks he is a dog. Karli’s bond with each of these little guys is so unique, which is what drives Karli to help pet parents also strengthen and build the unique bond they share with each one of their four-legged family members.

During her down time, Karli loves to spend time with her family at their lake house where she enjoys wakesurfing!

Jess is one of our veterinary technicians with several years of experience in the field. She started her path into veterinary field at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, intaking patients and triaging their care. She has always been drawn to the scientific side of the field and loves furthering her knowledge, especially in the area of diagnostics and laboratory work. Jess can often be found peering into a microscope even during her down time to perfect her skills. However, she also finds bonding with pet parents to be incredibly rewarding as well, and always makes a genuine effort to find something she can relate to with each person that steps through the door.

When Jess first came to West Park Animal Hospital, she was immediately inspired by the genuine care provided to each patient and the calming environment each pet is welcomed into. She takes great pride in continuing that tradition of making each pet feel as at home as possible during their appointment. When not working hard at her job, Jess can be found out scuba diving, rock climbing or spending time with her Shih Tzu, Benjamin, and her cat, Lillian, who Jess describes as her best friend and the love her life respectively.

Aubrey has been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes her entire life, so it only seems natural that she would be drawn to a profession devoted to caring for those animals. Aubrey started her career as a client service representative/dog walker for pet grooming salons, but has decided to make the leap over to veterinary medicine as she was hoping for an opportunity spend as much time as possible with the furry friends she loves so much while also learning a bit about the medical side of things. One of her favorite things is trading stories with other pet parents about funny things their pets do or little anecdotes they may have. Being a pet parent to everything from cats, to ducks, fish and frogs, Aubrey also has a strong understanding of the bond people and animals can share and loves being a support system for those families whose pets are undergoing medical care. When Aubrey is not hard at work at West Park Animal Hospital, she can often be found outdoors riding bikes, long boarding golfing or roller blading with her husband and family.
