Client Service Representative
Where are you from and how long have you lived in Vancouver?
I’m born and raised in Vancouver, but have spent a few years in Australia and Ontario.
Why did you choose to become an RVT/VA/CSR?
Growing up, whenever someone had an animal that needed help, I would donate my time, home, or money. So naturally, I knew I belonged in an industry where I could help animals.
What do you love most about being an RVT/VA/CSR?
I love being able to blend my passion for science and medicine with my love for helping people and animals alike.
What advice would you give someone entering emergency veterinary medicine as an RVT/VA/CSR? And what skills are most important?
I would tell someone starting out that veterinary medicine is ever changing. Be patient, be kind, and prioritize self care.
Tell us about a special animal memory.
When I was younger in “Onterrible,” we had a husky cross named Xavier that would pull us on a sled in the snow.
