Erin Mungovan
After
several years working in front of a computer as a graphic designer,
self-proclaimed “horse person” Erin Mungovan decided to make a change. She
moved from Massachusetts to Williamsburg, Virginia and worked part-time at a
horse farm teaching riding lessons and also as a receptionist at a large
animal veterinary clinic. Then she decided to take the next step. “I decided
to go back to school to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician and the
program at Blue Ridge Community College came highly recommended,” explained
Erin.
Graduating from BRCC in May, Erin is now a Licensed Veterinary Technician at Mountain View Equine Hospital. “On a day-to-day basis I use what we learned in lab techniques such as: pulling blood, running complete blood counts, and chemistries. We also do a lot of surgeries so I have been running anesthesia and also acting as a surgical tech.”
“I feel like I am where I am supposed to be as far as a career. I have always had, ridden and been around horses and horse people. Now I get to spend my days learning about the animals I care so much about and the people I connect with the most.”
