Dedicated veterinary technician with hands-on experience in animal care.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate veterinary technician currently pursuing my education in Veterinary Technology at Northwood Technical College. With hands-on experience in various veterinary settings, I have developed a strong skill set in animal care, surgical assistance, and laboratory procedures. My journey began at UWRF, where I earned my B.S. in Animal Science, complemented by a minor in Chemistry.
Throughout my professional experience, I have worked in multiple veterinary clinics, honing my abilities in blood draws, vaccinations, and patient preparation for surgery. My role as a veterinary technician at Carver Lake Veterinary Lab has allowed me to further refine my skills in assisting with surgical procedures and ensuring the highest standards of animal care. I am committed to continuous learning and improvement, always striving to provide the best possible care for my patients.
