Veterinary technician becomes alumni guest speaker
At the Veterinary Center, we continually strive to educate both the public and our veterinary colleagues about bird and exotic animal care. In this vein, our wonderful, compassionate technician, Melissa Ortiz, traveled this week to her alma mater, La Guardia Community College, in New York City to deliver a lecture on radiology to students in the veterinary technology program. They enjoyed her lecture so much that they invited her to return as a regular guest lecturer. We are so proud of her and are thrilled that she represents the Center so well. Way to go Mo!
