Quote: I would hope that the crowning and culminating achievement of my professional career would be a legacy of kindness.

What’s your favorite thing about CityVet? I came to CityVet as a kennel worker in 2009, and I stayed because of the wonderful team of brilliant doctors who encouraged and mentored me through a journey of post-baccalaureate pre-requisites, application to veterinary school, then ultimately graduation. It is a privilege to work alongside colleagues whom I consider personal friends. We continuously learn from one another and support each other through the intellectual, emotional, and physical demands of this unique profession.
