OBJECTIVE I am a registered veterinary technician who graduated from Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology in 2010. Through drive, dedication and a passion for learning I have been able to excel over the past 9 years. I have established a solid foundation in the veterinarian medicine industry with holding various roles such as an animal care attendant, lead-registered veterinary technician, administrative assistant and currently the Manager, foster department.
