Galina R.

Veterinary Technician 2020 Graduate

“Earning an education in a field (Veterinary Services) that I've always been interested in means the world to me. I am honored and humbled to be able to study healthcare for animals, while also having the opportunity to volunteer my time at both an animal shelter and animal clinic. Receiving my diploma in February 2023 was an absolute pinnacle and highlight of my life. Thank you, Penn Foster!”
