Summary

I am a hardworking, goal-oriented individual currently gaining hands-on experience at Banfield Pet Hospital as I begin my veterinary career. I am committed to advancing my knowledge and technical skills in the veterinary field with the goal of becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician. With my education complete, I am preparing to take both the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) and the state board exam. I am passionate about animal care across all species and eager to continue growing in a clinic environment where I feel valued and supported. I am especially open to opportunities that involve working with a diverse range of animals while further developing my expertise.
