Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch

Vet Tech Intern

May - August 2022 • Murchison, TX

What I liked

The veterinarian and staff were great teachers and very helpful and patient. Lots of hands on work and independent thinking. Working with a variety of animals, from goats and horses to tigers and monkeys! Learning medical terminology and procedures. Something new every day!

What I wish was different

The heat (summer in Texas can be BRUTAL). This isn't necessarily something I wish were *different*, but you do have to do mentally and physically draining work for long hours. It's not easy but it's SO rewarding!!

Advice

KEEP A DAILY LOG --- it will be so useful for your resume later on! Apply yourself and take every opportunity to learn. Ask questions and genuinely *listen* when they're answered. Observe EVERYTHING!!
