Summary

I have been working in the veterinary field since 1996. I started as a receptionist , maintaining kennels and caring for boarded animals. I was recognized as having a talent for working with animals and was asked if I would be interested in training to become a technician. I enjoy working in this field. I am a self taught technician and earned my CVT license in 2006. My passion in this field is educating clients and others. I still maintain my license every 2 years by completing the required CE hours.
