Client Relations Staff

Jessica Murphy, practice manager, began coming to KVC at the age of 6. On Saturdays, Jessica would "job shadow" her dad. When Jessica wasn't observing Dr. Kryder in exam rooms, she was earning her allowance by cleaning out cages or counting out medications with Ray. She was "officially" on the payroll at 15. After graduating from IUSB, with a degree in psychology, she was still drawn back to the clinic to establish a career in the family business. "The clinic has always put food on my table since I was 3 and it always will. The family business is in my blood. My plan is to help guide the business into the future." |
Randy Griffin, front office manager, has been here since June of 1993. "I have been working for veterinarians for the past 30 years, and I truly believe KVC is the best. We have wonderful doctors, top of the line equipment, a beautiful facility, and our entire staff is willing to go the extra mile to do anything they can to help both our patients and their owners." Randy shares living space with seven cats, two dogs, and a parrot. "It's an occupational hazard!" When she's not working she can usually be found playing in her Koi pond or pruning back the "overgrown jungle of my over planted yard." |

Jeanie Nelson, office manager, joined the KVC staff nine years ago. Transplanted from Minnesota, where she was a school nurse, Jeanie enjoys the community, the people and the weather (A lot warmer here than in Minnesota). She cannot say enough positive things about the KVC staff, clients and patients. While working at KVC Jeanie has expanded her education, her friendships and her love for animals. "I consider KVC a part of my family." |

Phyllis Richard has worked at KVC since 1994. She looks forward to coming to work in the morning to see the "gang" (resident cats) waiting, behind the counter, for their treats. Her one big challenge is finding room on her desk as a result of Jerry, our oversized red tabby, napping all day. "KVC has become a second family to me. We have a great staff that supports one another. Our clients and patients bring a lot of joy into my workday. Working here has been a real learning experience. I look forward to the years to come." |
Lindsay Miller has worked at KVC since the summer of 2001. Jessica and Lindsay have been friends since grade school. Having heard a lot about KVC Lindsay was intrigued. After patiently waiting, a position opened up, Lindsay was invited to work at the front office. She also constructs the KVChronicles newsletter and, along with Dr. Eichenseer, the KVC website. "KVC has been a home away from home. It's the wonderful feeling of waking up in the morning and loving your job and being able to spend time with friends." |

Diann Linback, receptionist, started at KVC just as it was moving into the current building in 1986. Diann was a receptionist as the time and after a couple of years full-time, Diann went part-time in between the births of her two kids. The door was always open for Diann to come back. Diann had always wanted to work at a veterinary clinic and her dedication to KVC promoted her to technician assistant 9 years ago. Just recently, Diann made her way back up to the front desk. We are glad to have her back up front. When she is not here she is at home with her husband, her two kids and their yellow lab, Aspen. "I have always enjoyed working with the staff, clients and their animals. This is where I like to be." |
