Sara officially joined the Patton Veterinary hospital as a veterinary technician in May, 2021 after her YTI externship at our hospital. Sara’s hometown is Wrightsville and she is a graduate of Eastern York High School and York Technical Institute’s veterinary technician program.
Sara chose a career in veterinary medicine because she, “really enjoy[s] science and working with animals.” Sara says, “This is something I have wanted to do ever since I was old enough to understand what a career was. Anytime someone asked me what I wanted to be, I would always instantly say, ‘veterinary technician’.” She chose Patton because she enjoyed her externship with us and likes our fear free approach and separate cat hospital.
Sara enjoys spending time at Crunch Gym as well as spending time with her two ginger cats, Luna and Nala. Sara has an adventurous spirit: If she had a day to do anything she wished, she would spend it exploring a place she’d never been before or doing something she’d never done before like sky-diving or mountain climbing. Sara has crossed horseback riding off her bucket list but hopes to learn SCUBA diving one day!
Her favorite quote is from poet E. E. Cummings—“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” In other words, “Don’t be afraid to be a ‘Fruit Loop’ in a bowl of Cheerios.” Excellent advice and we are so proud to have Sara as part of the Patton Family!
