Miranda spent her childhood working with horses and at a small animal shelter. She earned a degree in psychology from Mississippi State in 2015 and entered the veterinary field in Colorado in 2018. Some of her most proud career moments have been in assisting patients from their very first appointments all the way through their last, and in acquiring skills Miranda once thought impossible. In 2023, Miranda transitioned to practice management, advocating and working fastidiously for the technical staff and patients alike.
For Miranda, it’s an honor to be part of CACVT leadership and have the opportunity to give back to the hardworking, passionate RVTs of Colorado. There is an urgent need for advocacy among this skilled workforce. Incorrect or under-utilization in clinics, lack of understanding of the role by the public, and undervaluation by business owners have all contributed to the myriad of issues facing today’s RVTs. Miranda will propose organizational goals aimed to reduce the overwhelming stress that so many in this profession have accepted as the norm, and will represent our brave veterinary technicians with dignity as we pursue a multitude of workplace improvements.
