Getting to Know Dechra

In each issue of Dechra Digest, we're recognizing a Dechra employee and highlighting their expertise to promote transparency and share our knowledge within the animal health community.

This month we would like to introduce you to Kristie Murray, HR Business Partner, based in Rochester, NY.

Q. How did you get your start in animal health?

A. This is my first role in the animal health industry, but I couldn't be happier to be here. Once I was ready to make a career move, it was really important to me that I aligned work and purpose. Being able to see the meaningful impact we make deeply resonates to me on a personal level as I have experienced pet love and loss over the years.

Q. If you didn’t work in animal health, what would you be doing?

A. I really enjoy taking care of people and making their lives easier. I would have more than likely found myself in some form of a health or nutrition-related role. I am passionate about healing and taking care of yourself naturally through nutrition, movement, and good company.

Q. What are you looking forward to most with your time at Dechra?

A. I am most looking forward to building upon partnerships! Being able to interact with the business and support them with whatever they need is the part of my role that I enjoy most.

Q. What’s the most rewarding part of your job?

A. The most rewarding part of my job is being able to support our most important asset, our people. I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Q. What is the best piece of advice you've been given?

A. The best piece of advice I've been given is: Listen to understand, not to respond.

Next month, we will feature another Dechra employee and present a Q&A. Stay tuned for the release of our next edition of Dechra Digest!
