Corinne, LVT

Born right before the discovery of fire.

Attended Bel Rea Institute in Colorado, a long, long, long, long, long, oh so long time ago.

Worked in the Carson Valley area as a veterinary technician since 2006 in various positions, letting me gain knowledge in every aspect of being a veterinary nurse. Can get blood from a stone, X-ray an alligator, and do a darn good lion shave all in one day. Anything you need, I can get it done.
