Summary
My name is Mandy Curnel. I have worked in the veterinarian field for over 23 years. I have recently tried some other jobs and nothing feels right. I have always loved animals and we live on a farm in Salem Ky. I am currently looking to continue with veterinarian assistance skills as that is what really makes my heart happy.
