HOW I GOT HERE

I began working at Pender in 2018, driven by a desire to learn how to take the best care of my dog, Mocha. Starting as a receptionist, I quickly realized I wanted to make this my career. In 2022, I graduated from NOVA's Veterinary Technology program and became a Licensed Veterinary Technician. During this time, I trained in nearly all departments at Pender. My passion for surgery grew, and I am now proud to be the supervisor, closely involved with the department's growth.
