Kristie Bradley, Receptionist

Kristie was born in Compton, California and raised in Newport Beach. She attended the Art Institute of Chicago where she earned a BFA in 2001. Her partner, Andrew, is her hero. Her life is warmed by three cats (Monkey, Rina and Kazimir), a blind Chihuahua named Gorky and Odessa, a naughty, old lady Chihuahua.

Since 1987 Kristie has worked with animals, and her job satisfaction comes from interacting with clients and being able to help them as well as seeing all the different creatures. "Create the world you want to live in" exemplifies her life, her favorite word is meow-meow, and she dislikes any word that portrays meanness. It took a while for Kristie to come up with the one craziest thing she had ever done (she had so many to choose from), but in the end she decided upon the times she volunteered as an assistant during autopsies.
