Name: Lauren
Ancare Start Date: December of 2024
Position: Veterinary Assistant
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Biology and Environmental Studies
Hobbies / Special Interests: I enjoy reading, bit also love being outdoors. I crave the ocean breeze, fresh grass, misty night rain, and overall nature sounds. I love to workout in my free time (to be able to lift the big pets)! I also enjoy going on walks with my dog, Minnow.
Pets / Family: Minnow - rescue dog
Hiccup - bearded dragon
Dipper - leopard gecko
Why I love working with animals / Why I love my job: It's my purpose. I tried to go away from it but it always pulls be back. I love educating clients. I love caring for ALL patients and I love the relationships I've developed along the way. I continue to learn daily and that is an adventure in itself. Every day is different which is what keeps me on my toes!
Special Quality: I can identify river algae and all trees in Illinois from a class I took over 3 years ago!
