This week we give a big “Paws Up” to Kayla Fuqua who is a receptionist in Emergency and Critical Care at the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital. A colleague shared, “Kayla has been a valued member of the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital for many years, serving in several different roles before becoming the day shift emergency and critical care receptionist. Throughout her time here, she has consistently demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to those around her. Kayla treats clients, coworkers, and patients with kindness and respect, and she shows exceptional care and encouragement to the veterinary students she works with each day. She takes the time to support others, answer questions, and creates a welcoming environment for both clients and the hospital team. She is always willing to go above and beyond to help her department, whether it’s stepping in to assist during busy times, taking on additional responsibilities, or supporting her teammates without hesitation. Her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and dedication make her an invaluable member of our team.”
