Dedicated veterinary technician passionate about animal care and management.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated veterinary technician currently pursuing my A.S. in Veterinary Technician at Penn Foster, I have developed a strong foundation in animal care and medical procedures. My experience as a Veterinary Assistant Level 3 at Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center has equipped me with the skills to obtain patient histories, triage cases, and provide compassionate care to animals in distress. I pride myself on my ability to multitask in fast-paced environments while maintaining high standards of cleanliness and care.
Prior to my veterinary career, I honed my management and culinary skills as a General Manager at Scarborough Grounds Coffee Shop and as a Kitchen Manager at Pot and Pan Kitchen. These roles taught me the importance of customer relationships, team management, and operational efficiency. My background in baking and pastry, combined with my veterinary experience, allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work, emphasizing both care and creativity.
