What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead clinical teams, manage surgical and dental services, continue clinical skill growth, and contribute to high-quality patient care in a collaborative, learning-focused practice.

I am a licensed and certified veterinary technician with extensive hands-on experience in surgery, anesthesia monitoring, dental prophylaxis, emergency triage, and critical care across specialty and general practice settings. I have led and trained teams, developed training programs and SOPs, and managed clinical workflows while maintaining high standards of patient care and client communication.

My career highlights include coordinating surgical services, performing advanced dental procedures and radiography, operating diagnostic laboratory equipment (CBC/CHEM/4DX/UA), and providing compassionate, fear-free restraint and treatment. I am committed to continuous learning and delivering efficient, high-quality veterinary support to improve patient outcomes and client satisfaction.
