Veterinary Assistant

Karla Polen

Karla Polen began her veterinary journey six years ago, spending much of that time in the high-intensity world of emergency medicine. Originally from out of state, she recently moved to Chattanooga to be closer to family and friends—and to enjoy the city’s vibrant food scene and scenic views.

Karla is currently pursuing her veterinary technician license while working in clinical practice. She has a deep love for rescue animals, with a special place in her heart for senior pets. Outside of work, Karla enjoys running with her dog Bailey, traveling with her wife, and recharging with a strong cup of coffee.
