Julie D., Veterinary Assistant

Where did you grow up? I grew up in Vietnam and moved to the States when I was fifteen years old. 

Year you started working in the veterinary field? I got my bachelors degree at UC Davis and officially started working in veterinary field in 2020. 

What was your first pet? a black/tan chihuahua mix; his name is Charlie and he is the cutest. 

Best way to spend a Saturday? I love cooking, so I spend time on the weekend exploring new recipes, mostly Vietnamese foods. I also love to hang out and get some boba with my boyfriend. 

Your favorite part about working with animals is: to see the improvement or tail wags from patients after being treated with us.
