Administration

Kim joined the SBS team in February of 2023 as Director of Operations. After working within many facets of the veterinary field for over 20 years, she brings diversity, an extensive background and experience to her role. Kim spent a large part of her career as a small animal veterinary technician specializing in Emergency/Critical Care and Internal Medicine. While working with a large and well known veterinary pharmaceutical company she fielded calls from veterinary professionals all over the United States. Her work included drafting reports regarding efficacy and safety for products that are still on the market today; these reports were later submitted to the USDA and FDA for review. Over the last 7 years Kim has worked as a Practice Manager at two very large facilities in Pennsylvania. Her love of horses began as a child, so she is very excited to be refocusing her career on equine services and all the great work being done at SBS. When not in the office, Kim enjoys spending time with her husband and daughters and training with her pit bull, Lilly, as they work towards certification as a therapy team.

Jonathan graduated from the University of Delaware in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Sciences. While obtaining his degree, he started working for SBS in 1994 by assisting Paul with routine lab cleaning.
