Summary
BEYOND MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, ANIMALS HAVE BEEN A CONSTANT AND CENTRAL PART OF MY LIFE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 5 DOGS AND 3 CATS, AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME IN MY LIFE WHEN I HAVE NOT HAD A FUR BABY. I AM HANDS ON AND CONFIDENT IN ADMINISTERING MEDICATIONS AND VACCINES TO MY OWN ANIMALS, MONITORING THEIR HEALTH,AND RESPONDING CALMLY AND APPROPRIATELY TO THEIR NEEDS. THIS LIFELONG, PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE HAS MY DEEP RESPECT FOR ANIMALS AND MY ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR, COMFORT, AND CONDITION.
I AM A SEASONED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL WITH OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE SUPPORTING MEDICAL TEAMS AND FAST PACED ENVIRONMENTS THAT DEMAND PRECISION, COMPASSION, AND STRICT ADHERENCE TO SAFETY PROTOCOLS. WHILE MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND IS IN DENTAL AND CLINICAL CARE, THE SKILLS I BRING ASSISTING WITH PROCEDURES, MAINTAINING STERILIZATION STANDARDS,MONITORING PATIENTS UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA AND COMMUNICATING CLEARLY WITH PATIENTS/PARENTS DIRECTLY TO A VETERINARY SETTING.
