About Vet

I've been in the veterinary field for 5.5 years with 3 years as an RVT. I graduated from Gaston College in 2018 with an AAS in Veterinary Medical Technology. I have been a Surgery/ICU/ER technician at a large hospital in Charlotte, NC for 3 years and still love it. Before that I was a veterinary assistant at the same hospital for 2.5 years. I love my job and couldn't imagine doing anything else.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my Airedale Terrier Mix, Camilla, and painting.
