Share a few sentences about your professional background and what drew you to GeniusVets.
I've been in the pet space for over 10 years, from dog boarding and training to my most recent experience in veterinary relief staffing. After spending the last few years working with veterinary professionals, I've seen firsthand how much they do to care for our pets- and how important it is that they feel supported, too.
What do you love about your role? If you're new to the team, what drew you to this specific role?
I'm really looking forward to helping practices grow, thrive, and get the most out of the GeniusVets. I was looking for a role where I could support amazing clients, build strong partnerships, and continue to learn and grow in this next chapter.
