Maureen has been working in veterinary medicine for an incredible **20 years, with 12 of those years spent right here at MVAH!** ❤️

🐾 **What Inspired Her to Work in Veterinary Medicine?**

As a young child, Maureen dreamed of becoming a veterinarian! 🐕🐈 As she got older, she discovered that veterinary technicians also play an incredibly important role in helping animals live happy, healthy lives. She realized she could make just as meaningful a difference by becoming a veterinary technician, and that's exactly the path she chose!

Every veterinary hospital needs someone who's willing to tackle the not-so-glamorous side of veterinary medicine, and Maureen wears that crown proudly! 👑🐾

💕 **What Makes MVAH Special to Her?**

For Maureen, it's simple — **HER COWORKERS ARE FAMILY!** ❤️

She loves the close-knit relationships she's built with her teammates over the years. Veterinary medicine can bring some pretty emotional and challenging days, but knowing she has her MVAH family beside her makes all the difference.
