"I had been a stay at home mom for 12 years and my youngest was going to start kindergarten. I decided it was time to go to work outside the home. I started taking online Vet. Tech. classes and thought that's what I wanted to do. I was hired at VCA as a receptionist that would train as a tech. I soon learned that what I really wanted to do was just love the animals and not be the one assessing them while they were sick or scared. I love being a receptionist. I've gotten to know so many wonderful people and their pets. VCA is like a second family with all the wonderful clients and animals I have grown to love."
