Summary
My proudest achievement has been working for VIP, I have learned so much about my favorite field of work in a relatively small time frame. I was so focused in my career and learning from the time of my first vaccine it only took me about 8 months to become a stand in supervisor and trainer. I have become great friends and pupils to the most amazing people and vets. I have worked professionally with an upwards of 20-30 different vets in my time at VIP, adjusting to their preferences and hearing their ideas and reasonings. They have shaped the vet assistant I am today and I am so grateful for them.
