Since graduating in 2016, I have gained diverse experience in various veterinary settings, including emergency care and low-cost clinics.
Throughout my career, I have worked in multiple roles, including Associate Veterinarian and Clinic Veterinarian, where I provided essential medical care to pets and trained clinic staff on best practices.
