Detail-oriented Veterinary Technician with expertise in ICU patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated ICU Veterinary Technician with over 8 years of experience in animal care. My journey began with volunteering and evolved into a professional career where I have managed multiple patients with complex disease processes. I pride myself on my critical thinking skills and my ability to communicate effectively with both my team and clients, ensuring that every animal receives the best possible care.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in advanced veterinary procedures, including the management of various lines and tubes, as well as performing ultrasound assessments. My work at Animal ER Care has allowed me to collaborate closely with doctors and provide long-term care for critically ill patients. I am committed to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest veterinary practices, which I believe is essential for providing exceptional service.
