Summary
Aspiring Veterinary Technologist with a passion for animal care. I proudly attended West Virginia University, where I cheered on my school's teams. I have always embraced a spirit of teamwork and community. In June 2024, I achieved my Veterinary Assistant certification while working at Central Bucks Veterinary Hospital, marking a significant milestone in my journey toward becoming a dedicated Vet Technician. Raised in a household filled with the love of family pets, I developed a deep-rooted compassion for animals from a very young age. This connection to my furry companions have inspired me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, where I hope to make a positive impact on the lives of animals and their owners.
