Originally from Connecticut (though she’s lived just about everywhere thanks to a life of travel nursing), Christy brings a wealth of experience to our clinic. With 25 years in human medicine and the past 5 years dedicated to veterinary care, she plays a vital behind-the-scenes role in keeping everything running smoothly.

As our Inventory Manager, Christy’s days are spent diving into stockrooms, checking safety protocols, organizing supplies, and ensuring the numbers add up—all so our veterinarians and team can focus on providing top-notch care. Her favorite part of the job? Supporting the staff in any way she can.

Christy is endlessly curious and passionate about learning something new every day. Outside of work, you’ll find her reading, binge-streaming, puzzling, or trying (with determination!) to coax something to grow in her garden. She shares her home with Claus Von Wiggle Butt, her not-so-mini Aussie, and Marco Pollo, a playful orange-and-white tabby.

Always ready to lend a hand, Christy’s dedication shines through in everything she does—both in and out of the clinic.

Kristy is originally from San Diego, California, but has been living in Tucson for some time. Kristy started her career as a Veterinary Technician back in 1995 and is proud to have learned skills from some wonderful Veterinarians and Technicians throughout the years.

Kristy is always trying to continue to educate herself about Veterinary Medicine and is happy to continue on in her career as an integral part of the Jackpot team. If she is not at work, you can most likely find Kristy cruising the lake with her dog Momo!

From Holbrook, AZ, Hunter has been in the veterinary field for just over a year and is always ready to answer calls, schedule appointments, fill medications, and assist clients with whatever they need.

Hunter’s biggest passion? Horses—hands down! When not at the clinic, you’ll likely find Hunter training horses, working with leather, or spending time with their own herd of animals, which includes four dogs, a cat, two rats, two horses, and even a donkey!

With a love for animals and a welcoming attitude, Hunter helps keep the clinic running smoothly. Be sure to say hi next time you call or stop by!
