VCA began is where my want to work in the veterinary field started with working there through our School to Work program. I would leave school and go to VCA 3 hours a day though my high school years. Once I graduated I was offered a job with them. I started by taking care of the blood donors while in high school. I grew and learned so much from the entire staff, from doctor, CSRS and technicians. I would not be half of the person or technician I am today without such great leadership and eagerness to teach. I then started working in the ICU caring for patients and administering treatments and assisting in surgeries and a wide range of diagnostics.
