Summary

I am a proactive and goal-oriented veterinarian assistant with excellent time management and problem-solving skills. I am known for my reliability and adaptability, with swift capacity to learn and apply new skills. I am committed to leveraging these qualities to drive team success and contribute to organizational growth. Although I only have roughly a year of experience in the shift lead role, I have learned a lot and keep an open mind to ensure growth in this position. Working with animals is my passion, and it shows in my work. I do not shy away from hard work or particular tasks others may not want to perform. I am a team player who believes that team work is the most important part of working in the veterinary field. I still have lots to learn in terms of medical knowledge and hope to further my knowledge through veterinary technician schooling. I have also gained a tremendous amount of experience in client communication.
