Keri Johnson, CVT
Keri started at Countryside in October of 2007. She graduated from Globe College and is a Certfied Veterinary Technician
Keri lives with Ricardo, her boyfriend of 4 years. Keri has 2 cats:
- Smokey - a gray Domestic Medium Hair - "naughty" pretty much describes him. He does have his good moments, where he does some cute things. For the most part he is playful and keeps to himself.
- Pumpkin - an orange Domestic Longhair - a nice cat whose most favorite things to do are eat and sleep. Now and then he can get a little crazy.
If her free time, Keri participates in league bowling and also enjoys cooking, baking, scrapbooking, reading, putting together puzzles, and sometimes doing nothing. Keri's favorite sports team is, hands down, The Minnesota Twins. Her sister has season tickets, so she gets to go to a lot of games which she loves to do. It is even better to meet some of the players in person (which Keri has done and has autographs). She also is a Green Bay Packer Fan.
