Resourceful technician combining veterinary, healthcare, and remote technical support expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a resourceful, adaptable technician with experience across veterinary care, healthcare, military vehicle mechanics, and mobile technical diagnostics. I combine U.S. Army training and CNA experience with strong troubleshooting, documentation, and empathetic client communication to deliver calm, solutions-focused support.
I have proven success managing electronic records, coordinating care and operations, and explaining complex technical issues in simple terms for non-experts. I excel working independently in fast-paced or remote environments, prioritizing accuracy, regulatory compliance, and clear customer-facing communication.
