Ciara Young

My name is Ciara, I currently reside in Vancouver, BC. I am moving to Chilliwack and hoping to continue gaining experience in a veterinary clinic while I complete my schooling for Veterinary Technician. I have two working breed dogs, a blind maine coon and multiple reptiles! I have always loved animals and I'm really excited to finally be working in veterinary medicine!
