So grateful to have Kelly on Team Cavallo!!!

The Business Infusions team wants to celebrate National Vet Tech Week October 13th - 19th by highlighting a few special techs. Today we celebrate Kelly Shultes, BBA, LVT. Kelly is the Practice Manager for Cavallo Veterinary Services. She is a native to Dutchess County, New York and grew up on a small farm enjoying her love for large animals. In particular, goats and horses are her passion, spending many years involved in the 4H program showing her animals.

In her first career path after graduating college, Kelly worked in the engineering field as an industrial space planner and layout designer prior to raising her five children. As they grew, she decided to switch careers and return to college to transition into the veterinary field. While in school, she was required to do an internship and that is where she met Dr. Andrea Sotela in 2012. She worked alongside her as an ambulatory assistant and upon passing her VTNE and becoming a licensed veterinary technician, she transitioned into other roles in veterinary hospitals.

As an LVT, Kelly has had the honor to teach students in an AVMA accredited LVT program, work in emergency medicine, small animal medicine, a clinical pathology lab, and an equine hospital. Continuing to pursue additional education to obtain her degree in Veterinary Business Management led to another internship. This required internship came at a perfect time as Dr. Sotela was launching Cavallo Veterinary Services, and so the partnership reunited.

Kelly was awarded the honor for the highest cumulative GPA in this program upon her graduation from SUNY Canton. She is honored to continue to manage Cavallo Veterinary Services for Dr. Sotela.

In her spare time, Kelly enjoys gardening, fiber arts, and camping. She lives with her husband and two dogs in Schoharie County, New York.

We appreciate you Kelly and celebrate you not just this week but each and every day for the valuable contributions that you make in the equine field.

What Kelly has to say about Cassadol Equine Software:
"We LOVE Cassadol and the Business Infusions team!!!"

PSA to my wonderful clients and friends.

I did not have cell service last week. I set an auto reply for texts and had to turn off iMessage to do so.

It’s becoming evident that some of you texted and did not receive the auto reply. I sadly cannot see any of these texts and some others so if you texted me and I did not reply please resend.

Thank you so much
🙏 ☺️
