ExperienceI started working with animals as a student in higschool - working at my local Veterinary Hospital as a kennel student. Being as it was a small town Vet Clinic, I was involved in a lot of medical aspects, and learned a lot.
After I worked there, I spent a year working with the town's Animal Control - here I witnessed horrific abuse to animals at the hands of their owners.
I went to College shortly after, and to pay for my expenses I worked at the city's Humane Society. As a Veterinary Technician in training, I worked with the other Techs and had to make horrible decisions like who got to survive and who had to be euthanized - even having to decide between puppies and kittens.
I graduated from College with honors, receiving my Veterinary Technician diploma. I wrote my certification exam, and became an RVT.
I spent a year working at a very busy, high volume emergency clinic in the city, before moving back to my hometown. I have been working at a small town veterinary clinic as a Registered Veterinary Technician since 2008.
