Kathryn Crumb
@kathryncrumb
Veterinary Technician focused on compassionate client education and accurate care support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Veterinary Technician with 4+ years of hands-on clinical experience and 9+ years in customer service. I’m passionate about interpreting medical information and guiding pet owners through complex care decisions with empathy.
At Thrive Pet Healthcare, I assist in diagnostics and treatment procedures, monitor anesthesia and patient vitals, and maintain accurate medication records and documentation. I also educate clients on diagnoses, treatment plans, and preventative care to improve compliance.
Before that, I strengthened my client communication and de-escalation skills in high-volume customer service roles at Michigan Medicine and the University of Michigan. I bring a calm, solutions-focused approach—whether coordinating schedules or supporting families during high-stress moments.
