I began my career in veterinary medicine in 2007 as an assistant at a general practice hospital. The daily interactions with animals in need and the challenge of medicine motivated me to pursue this career. As a lifelong learner, I focused on the education and training necessary to become a registered veterinary technician and later to earn a veterinary technician specialty in emergency and critical care medicine. My credentials have allowed me to hold many roles in various hospital settings: lead technician, technician supervisor, and technician training coordinator.
My passion for learning grew into a desire to teach. I am just as excited to help a new technician master phlebotomy as I am guiding an advanced technician in thoracocentesis. I find technician education to be one of the most impactful aspects of gold-standard patient care. My love of training ultimately led to the creation of Vet Nurse Development and Training. My experience in emergency/critical care, general practice, behavior, diagnostic imaging and even exotic medicine allows me to educate in various ways to improve a hospital’s patient care, client care, and technician efficiency. I value the pursuit of professional education and credentials, as I am a perpetual student.
When I am not working, I hike our local trails, play with my dalmatian, and raise my amazing young daughter.

So far, I have only been able to attend one of Tiffany’s lectures (Basic Anesthesia) and I really enjoyed the way she explained all the information in a way that was easy to digest. She is also very personable and easy to listen to – something I find very valuable because it keeps you engaged throughout the whole lecture. I am looking forward to attending upcoming lectures and learning more from her in the future!
