Kim M. R.

Office Manager, Certified Veterinary Technician since July 1984.
I started at MDVC in 1984 and knew what a poodle and doberman looked like. Of course since then I have learned much more. While working at MDVC I was able to take the Veterinary Technician exam and become licensed. I also "graduated" to become the Office Manager. The best part of my job is talking to people and helping them understand their pets better.

I graduated from the Veterinary Technician program at Madison Area Technical College in 1994, and shortly after passed my Wisconsin Certification Exam. I enjoy all the animals young and old. They all present their own challenges, all of which I'm ready for. In addition to all the nursing skills I use on a daily basis, I am one of the technicians who performs the dentals. I also went to an ultrasound seminar and enjoy using this skill. When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my husband Chad and our two wonderful children Olivia and Chase. I'm currently without pets but I hope to change that in the near future.
