Veterinary Interests: I have always loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have been working in the field as a Client Service Representative for over 5 years. I am so thrilled to be training as a Veterinary Assistant! I especially love working with the cats (I have 4!). I have a keen interest in surgical procedures and radiology and look forward to developing my talents more over the years.
Personal Interests: I absolutely love to read, especially books on philosophy. I love to write, draw, collage and explore photography. Gardening is my favorite way to relax after a long day or on a warm sunny day off. I'm an Aquarius so I have almost too many interests and need to be near water- so I love the beach!
Pets: Ariel, Mia, Nevada and Irie- four high personality felines
