With 20 years of experience in various disciplines of veterinary medicine, I am passionate about empowering veterinary professionals through education and coaching. As the co-founder and chief visionary officer of EVT, I help veterinary industry leaders and hospital networks to streamline their teams and training, create unique programs, and establish best practices.I also serve as the director of MentorVet Tech, a mentorship program that not only connects veterinary technicians with mentors and resources to advance their careers and skills, but provides modular course work to enhance those skills. I have co-founded Nurtur - a veterinary team communication training organization - in order to hone in on the human skill we all need to constantly grow/develop, communication!Because the wellbeing of the people within veterinary medicine is why I'm truly here, I have also be a part of the founding of Project Sticker, a 501(c)3 organization that is focused on providing the connections and resources so that every member of the veterinary team sticks with us.Additionally, I am a tech champion at Boehringer Ingelheim, delivering AAVSB-approved presentations on disease prevention, client communication, and patient care. From a skills perspective, I am proficient in the advanced clinical skills required of a senior-level ER/CC, oncology, and anesthesia veterinary technician, and I hold certifications in RECOVER, FearFree, and providing RACE-approved CE. I am a confident & enthusiastic professional speaker, content creator, and collaborative coach, particularly focused on the growth and development of team members within the veterinary medical field.
