Summary
After over 15 years as a dedicated and compassionate veterinary professional, I am looking to challenge my knowledge, experience, and skillset in another area of the veterinary field outside of Practice Management. I am eager to collaborate with a dynamic team of professionals to provide comprehensive veterinary-related services and build lasting relationships with clinics, clients and their beloved pets.
