Summary

I have worked five years as a veterinary assistant/receptionist to further my knowledge in the field, hoping to become a veterinarian. After some consideration, I decided to pursue a different path and try animal research. I have worked at UNMC as an animal research technician for six months, but have decided it is time to find something that better fits my lifestyle and work ethic. I want something requiring more drive and passion, as I thrive on hard work and determination.
