What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative veterinary practice where I can apply strong clinical skills, deliver compassionate patient care, and grow by learning new policies and procedures from experienced colleagues while keeping communication and animal comfort at the center.

I’m a Dedicated and compassionate Veterinary Technician who supports high-quality patient care by combining clinical assistance, careful attention to detail, and clear client communication. I aim to ensure every patient and client feels comfortable, informed, and cared for.

In a busy veterinary clinic environment, I contribute to daily operations through animal handling, assisting in surgery, nursing care, and client education. I also help maintain a clean, safe environment by completing kennel maintenance and following clinic protocols.

I’ve strengthened my hands-on skills through an externship and ongoing clinic employment, including phlebotomy & venipuncture, anesthesia monitoring, and supporting medical procedures. I’m committed to practicing reliable restraint techniques and supporting veterinarians and veterinary staff.

Beyond clinic work, I volunteer my time promoting animal welfare and supporting hands-on care at an animal shelter, including medical care tasks such as collecting samples, giving injections, and assisting with procedures like monitoring anesthesia and dental prophylaxis. I’m ready to keep learning new skill sets and policies from experienced colleagues.
