Summary

I am Passionate about & Love Animals. I strive to be a women of integrity, compassion, & care, especially for our furry friends who cannot speak. (And the occasional hairless) :)

Most Pets do not enjoy leaving the safety of their homes and their family. They do not understand it is what is best for their health. My goal in vet med is to make their experience the best it can be, while educating pet parents on how to make informed decisions on their pets health, happiness, and wellbeing.

I appreciate the opportunity you are giving me by reviewing my resume.

Thank You,

Ariel Bourgeois
