years of professional experience
I moved from Texas in 2022 after working 8 years in my small town veterinary hospital. I started out as a kennel assistant and quickly realized I wanted to be more involved with the medical aspect of animal care. I now have almost 12 years of experience working in the veterinary field and look forward to many more years.
