KENNEL TECHNICIAN
Professional Summary
I have worked as a Veterinarian Assistant/Tech for over four years. During this time I dealt with customers, high stress, and demanding situations. I've occasionally substituted as a manager and was a senior employee involved in training of new hires. I am skilled in fostering relationships with clients and expertly handling animal companions to maximize veterinary visit experience. I was a patient-focused Veterinary Technician with a proven background in animal care, client education, and therapy and medication dispensing and administration. The general welfare of our clinic, health, and welfare of our patients were a priority. I'm willing to go the extra mile to make sure any and all tasks are completed on time and correctly. I was an experienced Veterinary Technician with demonstrated ability to deliver comprehensive care to animals at animal rescue facilities and shelters.
