Liz
Veterinary Technician

My love for animals and all things nature started at the very beginning stages of my childhood. Outdoor activities and doggy play dates with my pets are always a must for me! I do my very best to always bring that same motivation and happiness to work when I care for all the patients that walk through our clinics door. Being able to make a difference in a pets life no matter how big or small really keeps me striving to become the very best version of Being a Veterinary Technician. My passion continues to grow as my knowledge for pet care increases. Animals truly are my passion and life.
