Primarily working as a veterinary technician, I work closely with the doctors to ensure all patients are cared for and treated to the very best of our ability. My duties include, but are not limited to: proper restraint of dogs, cats, and pocket pets during physical exams and when taking radiographs, blood draw, placing IV catheters, monitoring anesthesia, performing periodontal therapy, taking dental radiographs, assisting the doctor(s) during surgery, preparing vaccines and administering oral, SQ, and IM medications as needed, filling prescriptions, and maintaining accurate patient records. As of June 2014, I am inventory manager, meaning I order supplies from our distributor two-three times weekly to ensure we stay fully in-stock. Occasionally, when needed, I will fill in as receptionist.

Primary responsibilities included: maintaining accurate records of each cow in the herd, maintaining an accurate and detailed vaccine protocol, and ensuring the accuracy of vaccination schedules for each heifer, lactating, and dry cow in the herd.Additional responsibilities: administering both intramuscular and subcutaneous vaccines, constant communication with my supervisor and on-campus veterinarian, educating fellow students on proper vaccination techniques and procedures.

I began as a "trainee," learning the ropes of milking and responsibilities of working calf barn. As a milker, I was working alongside one other employee to milk 25-40 Jersey cattle. I would observe each lactating cow for any signs of illness, administer medications if needed, and monitor the quantity and quality of the milk being produced. As a calf barn worker, I would also observe each calf for any signs of illness, administer medications as needed, and feed, refresh water, and clean stall each shift.

I was a member of the dog handling team at a luxurious, state-of-the-art boarding facility in Williamson County. Working the morning shift, three individuals were assigned to a "wing." From there, we would work together to ensure everything went smoothly. My duties included feeding, refreshing water, and giving medications (as needed) to each dog on my "wing," and walking each dog individually and monitoring all eliminations. During the day, each dog would get a creek-side nature-walk and an additional "pet 'n' cuddle," or a one-on-one game of fetch.
