Summary
I graduated with my medical assistant degree from South University. I began working at South Coast pediatrics in Savannah. I relocated to Peachtree city and got involved in Vet medicine/care. I am willing to do classes or any training needed to ensure I'm ready for this job. I'm currently moving back to Richmond Hill and would enjoy getting back into the medical, vet med, or dental field.
