Summary

At Wickshire of Canton I was a MedTech and a caregiver to the elderly. I have perused that as I come to Rock Creek a year ago and now have 3+ years of experience providing high-quality care to patients in assisted, independent and memory care units. As I have loved caring for my patients in my facilities dearly, my heart is set on switching over to a veterinary clinic and caring for animals. I am hoping to use my experience with pet care and handling to land a position working at the Sunrise Veterinary Clinic. I am hardworking and committed to achieving the best possible results in all I do. l'm dedicated to learning, growing, and succeeding in working in the veterinary field.
