Receptionist/Animal Care Attendant

I joined the Cambrian team in November 2020. Prior to my joining, I was working as a licensed hairstylist. When I was presented with the opportunity to do a complete career change and join the Cambrian crew, I jumped at the chance and I am so thankful for it. My favourite thing about the clinic is that I get to work with an amazing team and great clients. I love getting to see our patients and watching them grow! I currently have a cat named Lucky but I grew up with dogs my entire life. I love big dogs! I will eventually have a giant breed dog in my life but in the meantime, I love to cuddle Cambrian’s big pooches – slobber doesn’t deter me!
