About
I am a 2018 graduate of St. George's University School of Veterinary Medicine. In the past, I have been trained in receptionist work and veterinary assistance with most of my experience in working with companion animals and equine (mainly thoroughbreds). At the Southern California Equine Foundation, I trained in the equine field, originally hired as a Laboratory Technician and later as a surgical assistant, endoscopy (and gastro-), and radiology in addition. Now, I am a current associate at Banfield Pet Hospital located in College Station, TX. I have been working with Banfield Pet Hospital 16 months. This year I am focusing on expanding my education in pocket pets! I am a quick learner, capable of taking on new challenges or work experiences that will further my education in animal care.
