My name is Heather Marie Blackburn, I have been in the veterinary field as a Veterinary Technician for over 20 years. I worked at large, small, and exotic practices. I also spent several years working at a cat-only practice here in the Houston area. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology. I moved to Lafayette, LA shortly after graduating and worked for National Marine Fisheries for a few years, before returning to be a vet tech. I moved back to Texas a few years ago, after starting a new life with one of my classmates from Port Isabel High School, Arthur Cochrum III. We share our home with AC and our 5 pets! We spend our spare time watching AC play football and our Aggies on Saturday! We plan on getting our own piece of the Texas Coast one day, so we can play on the beach and fish every day!

Hey y’all! My name is Kristin and I’m one of the techs here at Fish Creek Animal Hospital! I’ve only been here since March 2023, but I’ve been in the veterinary field since 2013. I graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2018 where I double majored in Criminal Justice/Victim’s Studies, and minored in Sociology – but working with animals is where my passion really lies. My free time is mostly spent reading, hanging out with my Shih Tzu Sadie and taking her everywhere I can, or watching reality tv. I really look forward to meeting you all and taking the best care that I can for you and your fur babies!
