Dr. Randi Gibson

I am a Florida native who was born and raised in southern Hillsborough County. I started working at Fox and Friends Animal Hospital in 2005 and fell in love with veterinary medicine. I am privileged to work with such a great group of people who share the same love of animals as I do. When I am not working, I spend my time with my husband of 20 years, Roscoe, and our three children, Braden, Payton & Adelyn. We enjoy spending time at local parks, the pool, watching movies and playing board games.

Amanda

Practice Manager

Hi, I'm Jennifer! I joined Fox and Friends three years ago, starting as a volunteer and now working while studying to become a Certified Veterinary Technician, graduating in 2024. Originally from North Carolina, I moved to Tampa in 2015 with my Army husband. We have three kids, a dog, three cats, and a bearded dragon. I love camping, traveling, and caring for all the pets we see.

Jennifer

Certified Veterinary Technician

I'm a lifelong Florida resident from Riverview with an AAS in Veterinary Science from Hillsborough Community College (2021) and CVT certification the same year. In the field since 2020, I previously worked in the trades. I share my life with Braylee, a 12-year-old Blue Nose Pitbull, and Louie, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu. I enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling, Busch Gardens, and outdoor activities, and I'm passionate about providing compassionate, quality care to pets and their owners.

Jayanna

I was born and raised in Nebraska. I graduated from the University of Tampa in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine. I have been working in Veterinary medicine for 4 years, but grew up around the profession my entire life with my dad being a veterinarian. I love being around animals and have a special interest in doing surgical and dental procedures. In my spare time I like to spend time at the pool and with my friends. I am the proud mother of three Chihuahuas, Bentley (14 years old), Armani (10 years old) and Dior (1 year old).

Katlyn

Veterinary Technician

Born in Bradenton, FL, and raised in Cincinnati, OH, I recently returned to Florida to be closer to family. I earned my BS in Animal, Poultry, and Veterinary Science from Tuskegee University in 2020 and have five years of experience in various veterinary roles. Aspiring to become a veterinarian, I plan to begin my Master's soon. I share my home with a miniature schnauzer named Greta and enjoy reading, traveling internationally, collecting plants, spending time with family, and trying new restaurants.

Kerri

I was born and raised in Florida. I have been in the veterinary field for nine years. I am currently attending school to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have a Boston Terrier named Dallas that has gray hairs on his face and screws in one of his legs! I also have a four-year-old daughter who keeps me on my toes! When I have spare time, I enjoy crafting and watching anime.

Emily

I have been in the veterinary field since 2018. Recently, I received a scholarship from Amerivet to pursue my education and become a Certified Veterinary Technician. This opportunity is allowing me to further expand my knowledge and skills, which is enabling me to provide even better care for our furry friends. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and my beloved pet, Melly!
