What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my veterinary skills while continuing to grow professionally in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with over 14 years of experience in animal care and customer service. My journey in veterinary medicine has equipped me with extensive knowledge in medical procedures, client education, and the ability to handle various animal care responsibilities. I take pride in my role as a Pet Care Specialist, where I ensure the well-being of pets through proper feeding, health monitoring, and administering medications. My commitment to building trust with clients and providing tailored services has been a cornerstone of my professional ethos.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various veterinary settings, including high-volume spay/neuter clinics and animal hospitals. My experience includes assisting veterinarians in medical procedures, maintaining accurate medical records, and educating pet owners on proper animal care techniques. I am also an active member of the Caribbean spay/neuter group, participating in fundraising events and continuing education programs to stay updated on advancements in veterinary medicine. My goal is to continue making a positive impact in the lives of animals and their owners.
