Renee Ricks

As a highly experienced veterinarian technician with over 15 years of experience in the veterinary industry, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to efficiently manage and lead teams in fast-paced environments. My biggest achievement has been taking over management responsibilities such as managing inventory, budgeting, cross-training, and learning the business of the hospital in my current role. My strong communication and interpersonal skills have allowed me to effectively collaborate with doctors, staff, and patients to ensure smooth daily operations. With a strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills, I have successfully implemented new processes and systems that have improved overall efficiency. My background in budgeting has also enabled me to effectively manage resources, resulting in cost savings for the practice. I am confident that my leadership abilities, strategic thinking, and passion for delivering high-quality patient care make me an ideal candidate for the role of Hospital Manager.

• Other various skills that I have done and learned throughout my years of employment inside the hospital are:
• Grooming techniques- familiar with hair cutting, shaving, trimming for both dogs and cats, as well as doing lion cuts on cats. I can explain our products to employees and clients such as medicated shampoos, what's included with grooming and baths, and order supplies needed for the staff.
• Software- I’m able to add added item codes to sell within the hospital, supplies, food, or medications no longer used within the hospital to make inventory and items organized within Cornerstone. Adding promotional discounts and rebates through our Greenline account. Discussing with representatives about new products, price changes, and obtaining valuable information.
• Communication- having the knowledge and skills to work each role in the hospital gives me the opportunity to communicate with clients more effectively. I’m able to answer questions quickly and give thorough knowledgeable information about different topics.
• Training- I can train and show employees how to navigate our Cornerstone software, providing easier navigation techniques. I can teach and show employees how to navigate our online pharmacy, document medical notes such as Idexx lab results, Radiology, prescriptions, client communications, explain and demonstrate duties for each area of the clinic.
• Inventory- I’m able to perform quarterly inventory counts, keeping track of items needed within the hospital. I have been able to help with cost saving expenses while rotating supplies, getting credit for damaged or expired items, and checking inventory weekly to ensure no extra spending is used on fully stocked products. I can explain what items are not available and find alternative recourses. I’m able to talk with our inventory operations team for information, and to stay on top of day to day changes within our hospital.
