Katelynn Capps
Registered Veterinary Technician
Katelynn was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where she harbored a love for the earth’s creatures ever since her earliest days. Her own experiences caring for pets while growing up led her to one inescapable conclusion: she would love to help better the lives of both pets and owners by working in the veterinary field! Katelynn’s passion never quit—now, she’s a Registered Veterinary Technician.
Katelynn’s animal-care journey began at another local pet clinic, where she shadowed for 40 hours, and then she attended International Business College’s veterinary technology program. After finishing her coursework requirements, she became an extern at another local clinic for two months and then signed on at a busy hospital after graduation. Katelynn would help pets there for two and half years before relocating to North Carolina, where she continued working in the field for a year before returning to her home state. In April of 2018, she joined the team here at Aboite Animal Clinic as a Registered Veterinary Technician. The rest is history!
One of Katelynn’s favorite parts of her job is serving as the lead Tech on a critical-care case and seeing a patient through the entire care process to a full recovery. Medically, she’s fond of diagnostic procedures, cytologies, radiology and ultrasound, and bloodwork. Above all, she loves to know that she’s making a real difference in the lives of pets and their loving human counterparts.
Katelynn lives with her fiancé, Tyler, and their two pets: Tink, a betta fish, and a Pleco fish named Tink Senior. When she isn’t spending time with her family or helping pets here at the clinic, Katelynn likes dabbling in art and especially enjoys painting with oil and acrylics. Her art has even been displayed at St. Francis University and in the Parkview North Hospital’s front lobby!
