I have been a certified veterinary technician for 30+ years, and a horse owner for longer. I have experience working with horses both professionally and personally and I love sharing my knowledge with learners who love horses too! Along with my experience as a technician, I am also teach in an equine studies program at a local university. I am currently developing a new equine veterinary assistant program there and have taught in several veterinary assistant programs around my state. I have a MEd from Colorado State University and and I am now finishing up my second Master’s program and a Master of Veterinary Education (MVEd) from Lincoln Memorial University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with your horse enthusiasts and future veterinary professionals!
