At work with a patient - Elizabeth Skoglund

I work as a certified veterinary technician at an emergency practice. I love my job. Though it can be heart-wrenching at times, I think it is one of the most rewarding careers out there. I love the variety of patients that I see, and never knowing what might walk through the door. I also worked at an equine referrel practice for 2.5 years. I currently share my life with a quarterhorse, a dog, and two cats.
