What Makes You Unique: I am small but fierce!
Reason You Chose SUNY Canton: I chose SUNY Canton for its hands-on experience with animals in the Veterinary Technology Program because it is one of the best in the state of New York.Ā  The professors of the Veterinary Technology Program go above and beyond to make learning about veterinary technology fun for all.Ā  Also, SUNY Canton was still in the midst of creating a strong women’s cross country team.
Plans For After Graduation: My plans for after graduation include taking and passing the Boards exam for my license as a veterinary technician and to obtain a career working in a small, large or mixed veterinary office.Ā  I love working with animals of all shapes and sizes.
