Kelsi Fitzgerald Recognized as Chamber Ambassador of the Quarter The Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Club is pleased to recognize Kelsi Fitzgerald of Phoenix Property Inspections and Veritas Innovative Pest & Termite Solutions, as Ambassador of the Quarter for the fourth quarter of 2020! Here's some information about Kelsi: Hello, my name is Kelsi Fitzgerald. I grew up in Fresno, CA until the age of 17 years old when my dad’s job brought us to the Central Coast. I met my son’s father when we were 19 years old. We got married and had our son. Our son, Ethan, is now 26 years old, married, and works at Diablo Canyon in IT. Although my ex-husband and I are no longer together, we have always made our son our priority. I met my “husband” (we are domestic partners) about 5 years ago. Between both of us, we have 4 boys ranging in ages of 11-26 years old. I started my career in the medical industry. I started as a medical assistant and worked my way up to Practice Manager. I have managed up to 3 medical offices at once, so know what it’s like to get an office up and going. Over the past year (2020) we have opened two businesses. We have a Home Inspection business called Phoenix
Property Inspections and a Pest and Termite company called Veritas Innovative Pest & Termite Solutions. Because of my strong history of running and managing Medical Practices, getting these two businesses up and running was almost second nature. Every day is a new adventure and we are constantly learning. My husband and his partners have been in the Pest and Termite business for a combined 75 years. Customer Service is key for me and I like to be as personable as possible with our clients and make them feel like part of our family. On a personal note, I am very much about my family and our combined 4 sons. Living in the moment and making memories is very important to me. I want our kiddos and future grand babies to have fun stories to tell and remember as they get older. I also like to teach our kids how important it is to treat others the way you want to be treated. Kindness is priceless and should be handed out as often as you can. Thank you Kelsi for all you do for our community as a Chamber Ambassador, and congratulations on being Ambassador of the Quarter!
