Melanie's Story
Life
After graduation, I went on to college at Western Career College in Sacramento studying Animal Health Technology. I then spent the next 18 years as an Animal Health Tech at various hospitals in Rancho Cordova, Fair Oaks and then in WA state when I moved north in 1996. In 1999 I 'retired' from vet medicine to pursue other interests, and worked for a couple of years for a medical doctor, doing reception and transcription work. I worked in insurance for 8 years and I'm now going back to school to become a medical assistant. I met my husband in 1994 while still in CA-and we married in 1996 and moved to WA state later that same year. We have 2 children, a daughter (1996) and a son (2000). We also have furry children, including 2 cats, and 3 wild and crazy Shelties!
School
Attended grade school at Cordova Meadows and then to Mills Jr High for 7-8. We moved briefly to Lynden WA (for all of 2 months! in 1978)and then back to Rancho Cordova, CA for the rest of 9th-12th (1979-1982) where I graduated from Cordova. After graduation I went on to college to become an Animal Health Technician. I worked in the veterinary field for 18 years before retiring to other careers, worked for 8 years in insurance. In 2009 I'm back in school earning a degree in medical assistin...Expand for more
g. I met my husband in 1994 and we married in 1996 before moving back up to WA state. We have 2 children, a daughter born in 1996 and a son born in 2000. We also have several furry children including 2 cats and 3 Shelties-who love to herd the cats!
College
My college was only a one year program-so I didn't get to know too many classmates well enough to keep in touch-anyhow, I majored in Animal Health Technology and worked in the field as an Animal Health Technician for over 18 years! I still love my own animals but I "retired" from the business in 1999. Currently (2010) I'm attending Whatcom Community College with plans to graduate from the Medical Assistant program in 2011 with an Associate's Degree.
Workplace
I worked in vet medicine as an Animal Health Tech from 1981-1999 in various locations in the Sacramento area and then in WA state. After 'retiring' from the field, I went on to work a couple of years at a doctor's office as a receptionist and medical transcriptionist, then moved out of the medical field and worked in the insurance field before the recession hit me and I became unemployed for the first time ever! I am now going back to school to get my degree in medical assising and hope the return to the medical field will provide a long-term job.
