What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to engage in hands-on patient care while fostering a supportive team environment.

As a seasoned Emergency and Specialty Veterinary Technician, I have dedicated my career to providing exceptional patient care and support in high-pressure environments. With extensive experience in clinical management and hands-on patient procedures, I thrive in roles that require both technical expertise and compassionate client communication. My journey has taken me through various esteemed veterinary practices, where I have honed my skills in triage, patient monitoring, and team leadership.

At MedVet Dayton, I currently serve as the Clinical Manager of Medical Oncology, where I oversee client services and manage departmental scheduling. My previous roles, including Overnight Clinical Supervisor at MedVet Cincinnati and Veterinary Technician/Team Lead at MedVet Chicago, have equipped me with the ability to handle client concerns, train new employees, and ensure the highest standards of patient care. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative team environment and am committed to continuous learning in the veterinary field.
