Chelsea, Lab Technician

I love caring for animals because they don’t have a voice and I love being that voice for them and being able to take care of them. Being around animals at the clinic brightens my day everytime I work. In my free time, I love spending time with my children and family, watching horror movies and relaxing at home.
