Kaden

Kaden joined our team as a Licensed Veterinary Technician in March 2026, bringing more than five years of experience in animal hospitals. In 2021, they joined the team at our sister organization, Elliott Bay Animal Hospital, as a Client Care Coordinator — a role that helped him discover a profound passion for helping animals. Fueled by opportunities to help other team members and gain hands-on treatment experience, Kaden was hooked and decided to pursue more education. They became a Licensed Veterinary Technician and are eager to continue to grow in their career, especially in pet dentals and surgical procedures. 

Kaden is grateful for a career that brings him so much joy and fulfillment through advocating for animals and helping pet owners. “Getting to be the person who shows a fearful animal that they don’t need to fear me, helping a painful patient feel relief, or helping pet owners learn and grow with their animals. It’s all worth it to me,” Kaden shared. He approaches patient care as a team effort between veterinary professionals and pet owners. Committed to animal welfare, he aims to show up every day as his absolute best and thrives working alongside a team of professionals who share a common goal — Gold Star Patient Care.
