This internship has given me a realistic glimpse into my professional future. If I could help future interns, I would definitely want them to understand the true essence of professionalism. Things such asBeing punctual at all timesRespecting constructive criticismBeing receptive to learning new thingsHaving a positive attitude in the work environmentHolding yourself accountable for your actions

One of my favorite things to do at work would have to be grooming the pets. With the help of my co-worker, Taimelin, I was able to bond with the petsbeyond their medical needs.

Ear infections are fairly common amongst cats and dogs. Cleaning their ears is imperative for keeping a healthy and happy pet.

One of my biggest accomplishments at the clinic was nursing a dog named Sarge back to health. Sarge was attacked by multiple dogs in his neighborhood and suffered multiple wounds as a result. He is still on his way to a full recovery but he has come a long way.

BEFOREAFTER

Animals can receive acupuncture too! This alternative form of medicine relieve stress and tension a pet might have. Resulting in the decrease of pain or aggressiveness.

Being in the Veterinary Science and Agricultural Technology academy at Turner Tech, my passion for animals and the agricultural industry as a whole has increased from year to year. My goal this summer was to expand my knowledge of veterinary medicine and interning at Miami Shores Animal Clinic was the perfect opportunity to do so. I definitely dont regret a thing about this experience.

The 2016 NAF Internship Program has given me the opportunity to dive into the world of professionalism. I have gained so much more experience in my field of passion and I couldnt be more grateful. I was fortunate enough to work with an outstanding team of individuals whos passion for animals complemented mine. Not only has this experience helped me network with leaders in the agricultural industry, but it has also given me a sense of independence I will keep for the rest of my life.

I will like to give a special thanks to my Instructional and Internship Supervisors, Dr. Anim, and Jeniffer Solano for guiding me through my internship experience. I will also like to thank my academy advisor, Mr. Miller, for recommending me for the internship, and advising me to seek placement in an animal clinic. And last but not least, Dr. Cameau, and Noguerra, as well as the pet owners and animals that trusted my skills and care.
