Team Lead:
Sarah Slack, DVM
Raised in Houston, attended Colorado State for undergraduate and Texas A&M for veterinary school. Starting in veterinary school I developed an interest in outreach veterinary work, and went on several mission trips in Central America with Christian Vet Fellowship. I’m also very involved in my church locally. When I’m not working I’m spending time with my husband and son, traveling, reading, or running!
Kimberly McKenzie
I started my veterinary career at the age of 13 by volunteering at my local vet. At 16, I joined First Colony Veterinary as a CSR and within a year, I was promoted to manager and ran that clinic for 24 years. I learned that my passion was in leading and helping my team be the best at what they did. When my doctor was ready to retire, I joined a practice in the Beaumont area as their hospital administrator, but Houston is my home. I am now in my 30th year in vet med and am the practice manager at Heights Veterinary Clinic - Northwest and am loving every minute of it! I'm a lover of all of the things! My favorite parts of the day are kissing and loving all of the babies that come through the doors—whether they're furry, feathered or scaled. I learned about SDC while at a conference in Florida a few years ago. I looked up the Houston location when I got home and have tried to volunteer at every event since. I love the mission and look forward to growing the Houston location!
