Meet Our Staff

Chris grew up in the neighborhood and has been a member of the Minnehaha Animal Hospital team since 2001. In his free time, Chris enjoys spending time outdoors up at the family cabin and attending local sporting events with friends and family. His little buddy, Dixie, is an adorable Maltese.

Juli joined the Minnehaha staff in 2013. She graduated from Roosevelt High School and the Art Institutes International with a degree in graphic design. In the veterinary field her special area of interest is surgery and she is our main surgical assistant. What she enjoys most about her job is helping owners learn how to best care for their pets and bonding with the clients and patients.
Juli lives with 3 pets - Trixie (Domestic Medium Hair), Django (Domestic Short Hair) and her newest addition a Mastiff mix names Daisy. Juli says the best thing about working at Minnehaha is her co-workers - we are a great team!

Jim joined our team in April of 2019 after completing four semesters of Veterinary Technician training at Argosy University, before their abrupt and unfortunate closure. He plans to complete his training and become a certified technician in the near future. Jim lives in South Minneapolis with his three cats named Milo, Lucy, and Dexter, and a yellow lab mix named Herbie. In his free time he enjoys visiting the local dog parks, snowboarding, biking, or gaming at home with the critters.

Kristina joined our team in January, 2020. She holds a Bachelor's degree in English and is now pursuing her degree as a Veterinary Technician. Professionally she hopes to work primarily with cats but enjoys all animals. Kristina lives with her long haired tuxedo cat, Tabitha. In her free time she does voice overs, podcasts and dog sits. She said the best thing about working at Minnehaha is the team and the clinic pets! We are excited to have her with us while she pursues her Certified Veterinary Technician degree.
