Summary

I was a stay at home Mom for 21 years. I enjoyed the time very much, and I know that I was blessed to be able to have it. I have worked in the schools the past year, and that has been valuable experience. I really enjoyed working in the veterinary field, and I know I can be an asset to your practice. While I'm sure that computer systems have changed since I last worked in a veterinary office, I am confident I can learn the new systems and programs that are in place. I very much enjoy working with people, and forming professional, yet personal, relationships with clients and their pets.
