Ms. Deb Kittle
Technician Supervisor
Deb Kittle
School: University of Maryland, Bachelor of Science
Deb Kittle is the Nursing Technical Supervisor for VCA VRA's Intermediate Care Ward. She has lived all her life in Montgomery County, MD and has always wanted to work with animals since she was a young girl. She got her first job as a veterinary technician in March 1983 at Gaithersburg Animal Hospital (GAH). The owner and staff at that time took her under their collective wing to help her develop her passion for veterinary patient care.
Deb graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park in May 1984 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science. After a decade and a half at GAH, she yearned to broaden her technical skills and came to VCA VRA in August 1998. She began working in the Intermediate Nursing Care Ward and realized this is where she was meant to be. She loves working with all the doctors and feels she gets the broadest slice of veterinary medicine.
Aside from her passion for caring for her patients, Deb LOVES Star Wars and collects anything and everything that relates to the epic Lucas saga. She has belonged to a local enthusiasts' club for the last six years and has actively collected and donated money to children's charities over the past four of those years.
