Why did you decide to be an RVT? I am able to combine my passion for science/medicine with my love of animals.
Favourite part of being an RVT: That moment when my patient and I make an emotional connection with each other.

Least favourite? When incurable illnesses effect young patients, shortening their lives.
Most memorable case? A happy, bouncing dog had a routine blood test performed during the annual exam. The results revealed a serious blood cancer. The early detection allowed treatment and increased the dog’s longevity.
