A recent graduate of the Animal Health Technology Program in Fairview, Alberta at Northwestern Polytechnic. I have spent the past four years working in veterinary medicine and related fields as well as building my knowledge by obtaining my AHT diploma.

Ideally a position in a related field would allow me to refine my skills as a technologist and aid in providing exceptional patient care and client education.

Assisted veterinarians in examining animals to determine the nature of illnesses or injuries

Conducted daily rounds to observe and document the condition of animals

Restrained animals, trimmed nails, expressed anal sacs, and minimal grooming

Maintained and sterilized all surgical equipment and instruments

Performed routine laboratory tests or diagnostic tests, such as taking x-rays and fecal examinations
