What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to lead teams in providing exceptional animal care while fostering a positive work environment.

As a passionate veterinary professional, I have dedicated my career to providing exceptional animal care and leading teams in high-pressure environments. Currently, I serve as a Department Supervisor in the Emergency Room at Nashville Veterinary Specialists, where I oversee a team of ER technicians and assistants. My role involves ensuring quality patient care, fostering teamwork, and enhancing communication within the team. I take pride in mentoring new hires and conducting performance reviews to support their growth.

Previously, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant in the ER/ICU, where I honed my skills in patient assessment, diagnostics, and client education. My experience spans various roles, including Animal Care Technician at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Veterinary Assistant at Premier VetCare, where I led evening shifts and assisted in surgeries. My commitment to animal welfare and client satisfaction drives me to continually improve processes and deliver the best care possible.
