I am a graduate of the North Dakota State University Veterinary Technology Program and hold a MBA with an emphasis in veterinary business from Minnesota School of Business. Over 20 years of my life has been dedicated to all things veterinary technology- including time in clinical practice and veterinary technology education. In addition to my clinical hours I have also spend time on the executive board for the Minnesota Association of Veterinary Technicians (MAVT) and currently serve as the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) as treasurer. I have been fortunate enough to be able to contribute to multiple written resources and speak at state and national levels.
