Summary
I am fairly new to the Veterinary world, with about 2 years of experience as a VTA. However, I have spent my whole life around both small and large animals. In my time so far as a VTA, I have expanded my passion for animal caretaking, and all aspects of the Veterinary world. I am looking to try my hand at emergency care, and in the long-term, I hope to become an RVT, specializing in large animals and/or zoo studies.
