Years as an RVT: 3
Special interests within the veterinary field: implementing “fear free” techniques and reducing the stress of animals when coming to our hospital.
Why did you decide to be an RVT? With a background in science, I had always wanted to work in the medical field. I could not ignore my absolute passion for animals and therefore I combined the two!
Favourite part of being an RVT: when animals are happy and excited to come to the hospital. Also reuniting animals with their owners at the end of the day is always very rewarding.
Least favourite? Battle scars we might endure with a not so co-operative pet.
Most memorable case? My own dog! When he ate toxic mushrooms and started with tremors and seizures!
Furry family members of your own: Cody! He is a 10 year old Australian shepherd.
What is your favourite colour? Blue!
Favourite Holiday? Halloween (because it is during my favourite season – fall)
Favourite food? Donuts
Favourite drink? Coffee
What do you do for fun outside of work? I love to hike, play soccer and socialize with friends.
What do Ceri’s co-workers say about her?
