Veterinary Assistant
Start Date: February 2025
Where are you from and where have you been?
Kind of everywhere? I was born in San Jose, CA, before moving to New Jersey. Then in 2010, my family moved to Spring, TX. For a few years after that, I moved between Texas and New Jersey before eventually ending up in Brick, NJ, where I enlisted in the US Navy, and it landed me in the Charleston Area in 2017, and I’ve been here ever since. I’ve been to many states in the United States, moving and visiting family, as well as Vietnam, Thailand, Canada, and the Bahamas.
