Summary
My career in the veterinary field started in my junior year of high school. I have worked at two small animal general practices. I started at the front desk and quickly realized I wanted more hands-on work with the animals. I enrolled into Massasoit's Veterinary Technician program in 2023 to gain a deeper knowledge of veterinary medicine and to prepare myself for the VTNE. I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant to have more hands-on experience while in school.
