Kelly FitzSimons is the Midwest Region Veterinary Sales Representative for Esaote North America, and she absolutely loves what she does. A lifelong animal lover and passionate supporter of veterinary medicine, Kelly got her start at just 13 years old, volunteering at Bay Pines Veterinary Clinic in northern Michigan. For 10 summers, she assisted with small animal surgeries in the mornings and joined farm visits in the afternoons at the once mixed-animal practice. Though her path didn’t lead to veterinary school, Kelly’s dedication to the profession never wavered. After returning to school at 30 to pursue a second bachelor’s degree in pre-vet, she ultimately found her calling in veterinary imaging. Now, with more than a decade of experience in ultrasound, she proudly calls herself an “ultrasound geek” and finds deep fulfillment in supporting the incredible work of veterinarians across the region.
Outside of work, Kelly shares her home with a lovable crew of rescued pets (two dogs, one cat, and three chickens). She’s a proud advocate of the Bissell Pet Foundation (two of her Labs even appear in their logo!) and enjoys time with her large Irish Catholic family whenever she can.
