What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my veterinary skills while fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment.

I am a licensed veterinary technician with extensive experience in animal care and management. My journey in veterinary technology began with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science from the University of Georgia, followed by an Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology from Gwinnett Technical College. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various veterinary settings, including emergency care and dermatology, where I have developed a strong proficiency in client communication, surgical assistance, and laboratory work.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong work ethic and dedication to my profession. I have managed a non-profit organization, overseeing all administrative duties, including payroll and inventory management. My leadership skills have allowed me to mentor staff and maintain excellent interpersonal relationships with clients and colleagues alike. I am passionate about providing high-quality care to animals and ensuring that their needs are met with compassion and professionalism.
