I graduated from Baker College in June of 2013 with an associates of applied science degree. After working in this field for almost a decade I will say there is still so much to learn. I love how progressive and personal this hospital is. It is a great place to work and bring my 3 cats for their continued health care. One of my favorite changes is the idea and application of 'fear free'. This has greatly improved my life as a licensed veterinary technician as well as our patients experience.
