Professional Background
Kahlil has been committed to a career in veterinary medicine from a young age. She began working as a kennel assistant at 15 and later earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Pre‑Veterinary Medicine along with an Associate Degree in Veterinary Technology. Much of her experience has been with large animals, and she has embraced the opportunity to expand her skills with the diverse patients we see at Bailey’s.

Kahlil’s love for adventure and the outdoors is a defining part of who she is. She enjoys camping, fishing, hunting, and traveling whenever she has the chance. Her travels have taken her around the world—harvesting olives and making olive oil in Italy, exploring the highlands of Scotland, swimming in the waters of Greece, visiting the war museum in London, standing before the Sagrada Familia in Spain, and walking the historic walls of Old Dubrovnik in Croatia. She hopes to continue filling her life with experiences that broaden her perspective and fuel her sense of wonder.
