Another Tuesday, another team member! And this week, we are featuring a new face. Erica joined VETSS in March 2022 as a Client Service Representative. Her passion for animals, background in customer service, and desire for a fast-paced working environment makes her an ideal person for this role. She has been a ton of fun to get to know, and is doing an impressive job of learning the ropes of vet med. She has her eyes on becoming a skilled Veterinary Assistant and we look forward to watching that dream develop into a reality right here at VETSS. Since Erica grew up in this area, she seems to know everyone and everything about the best spots to eat, gather, and enjoy life. We feel very fortunate to have her on our team!
Below are some beautiful photos of her little family, including her dogs, Silas and Dutch. Fun fact: Dutch is the momma dog whose x-ray we posted a few weeks ago. She's nursing her healthy, growing puppies thanks to Erica's watchful eye.
We are ramping back up with our #teammembertuesday posts to help you get to know our team.
This week, we are both featuring and congratulating Brandi Wilson for officially joining our team as a Veterinary Assistant. Brandi came to us a few months ago for a student externship. Her strong worth ethic and eagerness to learn was immediately recognized. We feel lucky that she chose to take the next step in her career right here at VETSS and look forward to supporting her through the Veterinary Technician Program and beyond.
These photos show that Brandi is clearly a lover of animals, big and small. Raising Black Angus Cattle has been a family affair for the last 8 years. In her free time, you'll find Brandi outside enjoying her dogs that she actively hunts with, or working on the farm. On a rainy day, you might find her curled up with a good book, cross stitching, or tuning in to her favorite TV shows. Here are a few photos of her family and precious labs, Molly and Zeus. Cat Boots is not pictured. Welcome to the team, Brandi!
