10 Years flys by really fast!! After graduation I headed to BYU in the fall. I changed my major three times before deciding on Animal and Veterinary Sciences with an emphasis in Veterinary Technology. I spent the fall of 2000 as a member of the BYU Colorguard performing with the Marching Band. I had a really great opportunity in the summer of 2002 to come to Portland Oregon and do a Veterinary Clinical Medicine internship with Non-Human Primates at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). I fell in love with the Northwest and the Monkeys instantly and knew I had to come back. I returned to Utah to finish my senior year, and graduated from BYU in April 2003. Shortly after I took a national test and became a Certified Veterinary Technician. I worked at a small animal clinic in Orem for a year, and then decided it was time to head back to Portland in May 2004. I continued working in small animal medicine for another year, while also working at OHSU. OHSU couldn’t get rid of me so they finally hired me full time in 2005. I’ve enjoyed keeping the monkeys healthy for the last four years while loving living in the Northwest. I spend my free time with friends, going out to dinner or the movies, in the out of doors or on my bike. My favorite things to do include hiking in the Columbia River Gorge and visiting the beaches of the Oregon Coast.
I've done a little bit of traveling, but this summer I’m looking forward to exploring more of Oregon and visiting my family still in Utah. And I have no idea what the next 10 years hold for me!!
