What I hope you learn from Vet Life Reimagined is that there are many ways to evolve your career in veterinary medicine, but is practice management the right step for YOU? Our guest, Cassie, is a licensed veterinary technician (LVT) who decided to take the step into being a veterinary practice manager at a busy mixed-animal practice in Washington State. Cass will discuss the challenges of moving from a vet tech peer to a veterinary leader. It can be lonely as a manager, but Cass will show the ways she has found support and a good work-life balance that fits her values including family values as she is a mother of two. In that path, she found an opportunity that allows her to help veterinary medicine differently and work from home part-time through working for Vet Snap, a digitally controlled drug log software that is making life much easier for veterinary practices. Cassie joined VetSnap in 2022 as their first customer success specialist. She brings 10 years of veterinary experience to the VetSnap team. Aside from her love of medicine, Cassie enjoys spending time with her family and friends, hiking, fishing, barrel racing, and doing anything outdoors. 🟥 Resources: 💡 VetSnap 💡 Vet Life Reimagined Website 💡 Veterinary Practice Manager Resources from AVMA Download our Veterinary Gift Guide www.euveterinaryce.com Support the Show.
