Taylor

• Cat Friendly Veterinary Professional

Taylor, a Technician Assistant from Chicago's northwest side, began her journey at Duke Animal Hospital as an assistant. She holds a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago and is currently enrolled in the Penn Foster program to become a certified veterinary technician. Taylor thrives in hands-on patient care, with particular interests in drawing blood for diagnostics and examining slides under the microscope.

At home, Taylor shares her life with her cat, Kunkins (pictured), who reluctantly tolerates Goop, an eyeless young cat whose pouncing skills remain sharp. She also frequently visits her childhood pitbulls, Baloo and Luna, who keep her on her toes. Beyond her love for animals, Taylor enjoys K-Pop, creating detailed pet portraits, and fostering a sense of community by helping her neighbors.
