United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a passionate veterinary assistant with extensive experience in emergency and critical care, I thrive in fast-paced environments where my skills can make a significant impact on animal health. My journey began at Waipahu Waikele Pet Hospital, where I honed my abilities in monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and performing essential diagnostic tests. My commitment to animal welfare drives me to provide the highest level of care during critical situations.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in veterinary practices, including intravenous catheter placements and anesthesia monitoring. My time at VCA Kapolei Animal Hospital further enriched my experience, allowing me to assist in outpatient care and minor procedures. I am dedicated to continuous learning and seek opportunities to expand my knowledge in emergency medicine and internal care.
