Summary
After discovering my passion to be involved in veterinary medicine, I ventured out in seeking education to become a Veterinarian. I was awarded a National Scholarship which gave me great opportunity to seek tertiary level education. Having attained my DVM degree, I have been dedicated to providing exceptional care to animals throughout the country of Trinidad and Tobago. I have long term goals of obtaining my licensure to practise Veterinary Medicine within North America. In the mean time, I am woking as a veterinary assistant/technician in which I can utilize my skills in providing good pet care. I am eager to start new endeavors as I continue my young career in the field of Veterinary Medicine.
