Tianna has been working in the veterinary industry for over 20 years, starting as an unlicensed vet assistant in Michigan and then graduating from Bel-Rea Institute in 2005. Over the years, Tianna has mainly worked in laboratory diagnostics in locations across the US for companies such as Idexx, Antech, and Heska, but has also worked in small animal clinics both as a technician and as a hospital manager. Eventually, she came back to Colorado full-time and is currently working as Head of Laboratory for MySimplePetLab. While this is her full-time position, she also does hands-on wet labs and lectures for hematology, parasitology, and urinalysis to empower vet techs to do diagnostic testing in-clinic. Additionally, she also serves on the advisory board for Front Range Community College’s Veterinary Technician program.
Veterinary medicine means everything to Tianna, and nothing makes her happier than to be able to expand what she can do for her colleagues in this field. By joining the CACVT, she knows she can make a difference for many other vet techs. There have been so many changes and advancements in veterinary technology, and Tianna is honored to be able to help make Colorado vet techs be at the forefront of all of it.
