Valerie

Registered Veterinary Technologist
I started in February 2018 as an animal care attendant. Most of my experience with animals comes from growing up on a hobby farm. Working at Centennial has given me an incredible amount of knowledge and skills over the past year. I think that because I've always had a love for being around animals and having different pets, I've found that working with them was going to be in my future. Some of my interests outside of work include reading, travelling, cooking and being outdoors (especially in the summer). Right now, I have a cat named Ella and a one-year-old rabbit named Lola. Ella is a 4-month old Calico/Tortie that we recently adopted. She is a very sweet and quirky kitten! We love her so much!

Try not to have too much contact with the animal or to disturb the surroundings. If you are unsure, it is best that you leave it be and call a wildlife specialist to notify them about the animal and its location. Certain animals like rabbits and deer often leave their young alone for long periods throughout the day. If it appears healthy and well, do not disturb the animal.
