My name is Amanda Colecio, and I am a Small Animal Science, Pre-Professional Major at Delaware Valley University. I graduated from Lehigh Carbon Community College in May with my Associate's in Applied Health Science Veterinary Technician degree, and I am currently a Certified Veterinary Technician. Through tech school, I have gained extensive hands-on experience with multiple species of animals, and I completed an internship at Northeast Veterinary Referral / Specialty Hospital, and Country Doctor Veterinary Hospital. Both sites allowed me to hone in on my clinical skills and learn about many different cases along the way. At my internship I was able to work alongside very experienced techs and doctors, and anesthesia has been my favorite subject to learn about. My long-term goal is to be a Veterinarian, and that is why I decided to continue my education at Delaware Valley. With my strong critical thinking and communication skills, I think that I offer many benefits to the veterinary field. I am looking to expand my knowledge and experiences through any opportunities that arise in my future.
