Veterinary Assistant

Since 2015

Naomi was born and raised on a Caribbean island and worked for a local animal shelter/hospital for 10 years. With no permanent vet living on the island and minimal technology for diagnostics, she and other volunteers did all they could to support the local community's animals. Naomi worked with dozens of veterinarians who visited the island offering low-cost animal care. She says that one of her most memorable experiences is when she was in charge of post-operable care for the organization, WorldVets, on two different occasions. She worked mostly with dogs and cats but also had experience with livestock. Naomi said her mother homeschooled her for ten years and then she later moved to Georgia to attend Agnes Scott College; majoring in neuroscience - with plans to go to college of veterinary medicine after graduating.

Why she does this: "I am very passionate about my hobby and career path with working with animals. I find myself enjoying every moment in this profession."
