Kellie graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2015 and started out as a small and farm animal veterinarian in Northern Alberta. While working in Alberta she volunteered doing spay and neuter clinics with the Canadian Animal Task Force, an organization that partners with communities to help care for their companion animals. After moving home to Nova Scotia in 2018 she worked as a shelter veterinarian before settling back in small animal private practice. She joined CVO Halifax in 2024 and is looking forward to participating in community clinics and providing care to all the animals in need in the city.
