Veterinary Assistant

I graduated from Medical Career and Technical College about 3 years ago. Now I work as an Ambulatory Technician for Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital. The most recent project I worked on was doing Spring Surveys on the yearlings at Shadwell Farm with Dr. Olivia Chandler. It was so fun and rewarding! Going through the program has helped me accomplish my dream of working with animals and having a career that I’m truly passionate about! I’m very grateful for Miss Amy and everything that she taught me, and for everyone else at the school! Everyone there is super supportive and helpful!

I graduated less than a year ago from the Veterinary Assistant Program. I know work for Minter and Moore Veterinary Clinic in Beattyville, KY. Going through the program taught me so much knowledge that I use every day, and inspired me to further my career in the Veterinary field. I love working with Dr. Moore and all of the wonderful staff. Helping care for each patient and learning something new every day makes me excited to come to work!

I have always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl! There was literally never a day in my life when I wasn’t around animals. I’ve always had a pet(s) or see strays roaming around the streets. I have this nurturing nature in me to care for them, whether they may be in the streets, clinic or my home. I want to have a career where I could tend to the animals needs whether it’s recovering for surgery, sickness, or just needing some lovings. I chose MCTC for their Veterinary Assistant Program to be that person to save an animal’s life and/or make their day better. The staff and students are so wonderful, we’re like family, caring for our own.
