We monitor diabetic patients by taking blood glucose levels throughout the day and giving the proper amount of insulin.

 I was born in El Salvador and moved to Southern California at the age of five. I have always loved animals since childhood and because of this, I am an active participant in the care and placement of homeless and unwanted animals. I have 6 FELV positive cats as well as an African Sulcata tortoise, 4 dogs and a pet sitting business (for more information on my pet sitting services, please E-mail me). I am one of the original employees of CVG and have been a veterinary technician for over 15 years. I studied biology at UCLA and furthered my education at Pierce College. Besides my love and dedication to animals I also enjoy the art of music, dance and the great outdoors. |
 I was born in St. Louis, Missouri and moved to Los Angeles in 1994 to pursue an acting career. After learning to hate acting, I finished my undergraduate degrees in Theatre and Biological Anthropology from U.S.C. In my father's words, Stephanie is "now qualified to coach chimpanzees for work in film." I spent 5 wonderful years as a keeper volunteer at the Los Angeles Zoo. I got a "real job" as a veterinary receptionist and simultaneously completed the R.V.T. Program at Los Angeles Pierce College. I have worked at Century Veterinary Group since October 2003. I am a member of the Society of Veterinary Behavior Technicians and NAVTA. I share my home with 4 cats, 3 dogs, a cockatoo, a pond full of koi and my boyfriend.

 I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I attended Michigan State University Veterinary Tech program. I graduated in 1983 and became licensed. I have been working as a Veterinary Tech here at Century Veterinary Group since I moved here to Los Angeles in 2002. I have 2 dogs, "Daisy" and "Wendy" and 2 cats, "Gazoo" and "Charli." |
 I was born and raised in Australia. I came to the USA 2 years ago. While in Australia I worked in the tourism industry but my life long love of animals lead me to become a Veterinary Technician. I've been here at Century Veterinary Group for 1 year. My hobbies and interests are my pets, my "2 kids", a 1 year old Boston Terrier named, "Oreo" and my 4 year old American Bulldog, "Patches" and "my husband." |
 I hail originally from Venezuela. I've been in Los Angeles for 13 years now. I've had a life long love of animals which brought me here to Century Veterinary Group 1 year ago where I work as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. This allows me to hone my skills that will eventually serve me as I hope to one day become a full-fledged Veterinarian Technician. |
