Originally from Angleton, Janet joined the SLVS team in 2011. She received her AAS degree in Animal Science from the Veterinary Technician Institute of Houston in 10/2010, and became an Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) in 5/2011. During her short stint in general practice medicine, it became clear to her that her true calling was specialty medicine. At SLVS, she became an accomplished member of the Surgery and Internal Medicine Team, with that knowledge, she is now our Referral Coordinator. Her special interests include fishing, dancing, motorcycle riding, and checking off her bucket list. She says Schotzy, her Miniature Schnauzer, is her soul dog since adoption in 2012.
