<\/figure>\n\n\n\nKim Duffey is a Veterinary Technician in Grady Veterinary Hospital\u2019s emergency room and mostly works second shift. She has been caring for animals with our team since 2006. Working in the ER is fast-paced and challenging. She says, \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to work with animals, and being a veterinary technician lets me be hands-on with animals and interact with clients. I love my job most when a challenging case comes into the ER, and we are able to help\u2014to tell the client their animal has a better prognosis now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Say hello to Selina Greene, a friendly Grady Veterinary face since 2016! Along with being a Veterinary Technician, Selina also volunteers at shelters, where she furthers her education and skills. She adds, \u201cThis is my dream job, and I love every single thing I do! Animals can\u2019t talk, so I try to be their voice and treat them like the living beings they are. We\u2019re a team at Grady Vet, and everyone pitches in to do everything we need to do for our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Veterinary Technician Tiffany Kidd finds assisting with surgeries and helping animals recover with wound care to be an especially fulfilling part of her calling. She\u2019s been with Grady Veterinary Hospital since 2006, and in that time Tiffany has observed, \u201cAnimals overcome so much with so little complaint, especially compared to human medicine. It amazes me.\u201d Right now, she has the fewest pets she\u2019s ever had at one time- two dogs and four cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Melanie Lawall joined our Veterinary Technician team in 2016 as an already experienced technician. During her overnight shifts, she addresses emergencies, treats patients staying in the hospital and monitors anesthesia during emergency surgeries. She says, \u201cI was an animal-crazy kid growing up, and spent most of my free time around them. I love saving the lives of the animals who come to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a Veterinary Technician, Jen L is a valuable member of our Internal Medicine team. She assists with complex cases that require specialty care and diagnostics like ultrasounds, endoscopies, colonoscopies, CT scans and more. She adds, \u201cI really enjoy the challenge, and my favorite clients are so involved and passionate about their pet\u2019s care.\u201d She became interested in Internal Medicine after one of her pets was a patient of Dr. McElravy in 2009. The experience changed her career aspirations, and she switched her college major to Veterinary Technician. Jen joined the Grady Vet team in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Veterinary Technician Robert McCabe has been a familiar sight around Grady Veterinary Hospital since 1997. He enjoys the challenge of keeping up with advances in veterinary medicine, \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a lot of improvements, especially when it comes to anesthetics and managing acute or chronic pain. These advances help animals so much. Once you ease their pain, you see how their personality changes when they are finally comfortable.\u201d For Robert, it\u2019s all about connecting with animals and people, \u201cI\u2019ve always had a bond with animals. And I love getting to know clients and patients on a first-name basis, making connections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a previous career, Kristn McCann made the decision to become a Veterinary Technician and change her life. She adds, \u201cIt was the best decision I ever made. I have always wanted to work with animals.\u201d She joined Grady Vet in 2014, and performs important work like IV catheters, X-Rays, blood draws, assisting in surgeries and more. Her favorite part of the job is seeing animals recover after a long illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kaitlyn Mills joined the Grady Vet team in 2015, and she is a Veterinary Technician who works third shift. She cares for emergency patients, along with administering treatments for our ICU patients. Her goal is to make animals feel like Grady Vet is their home away from home and help keep their humans up to date on what\u2019s happening. She says of her love for animals, \u201cAnimals love us unconditionally, so I want to do that for them as well. They deserve it!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Meaghan T started as a Veterinary Technician with Grady Vet in 2020. She takes care of hospitalized patients and assists the doctors with any other treatments that are needed. She has loved animals her whole life, and she jumped at the chance to start a career helping them. Meaghan says she enjoys, \u201cHelping clients understand that we are here to help them and their pets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a Veterinary Technician working the night shift, Katie Warndorf treats every patient like her own pet. She joined the Grady Vet team in October 2020 and is an invaluable part of triaging and treating patients. Katie feels deeply for animals and clients and says, \u201cSaving animals is a passion of mine. We sometimes see pets at their worst, but our clients trust us to get them back to their best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patrick Weaver is a true veteran of Grady Veterinary Hospital, being a valued part of our team since 1989. As a Veterinary Technician, he\u2019s impressed at how veterinary technology has improved over the years, \u201cWhen I started, we didn\u2019t even have computers. Now we have a CT scanner. Medical technology has grown so much, and it helps us heal and help more animals.\u201d Patrick also performs inventory for the hospital, which is an important, behind-the-scenes challenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caleb Yoder has been part of the Grady Vet team since 1998, working in different roles. He\u2019s a Lab Technician who runs blood work like heartworm, blood count and chemistries. The lab is process-oriented and requires an attention to detail that Caleb specializes in. He explains his love of our patients, \u201cAnimals have an innocence, ability to trust and to like everyone, regardless of who they meet.\u201d He\u2019s pictured here with his lab assistants and future blood donor cats, Liam and Noll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Veterinary Technicians of Grady Veterinary Hospital are a special, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,45],"tags":[67,68,78],"class_list":["post-454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-careers-in-veterinary-medicine","category-grady-vet-team","tag-grady-vet-team","tag-veterinary-careers","tag-veterinary-technicians"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"Meet](\"https:\/\/www.gradyvet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog-selina.png\")
