Shurada comes to us from Washington, DC. Growing up, she didn’t even know that veterinary hospitals existed but would often bring home animals off the streets as a child. At 19 years old, a veterinary assistant job fell into her lap and the rest is history. She has been in the field since 2004 and joined our Harmony team in November of 2023. Shurada is now a Fear Free Certified Professional. Once she is able to finish her BBA degree, she hopes to go back to school for a veterinary technician license. The reason she is in this field is because she loves taking care of animals while learning new things since medicine is always growing and changing. Shurada lives a busy life as a mom, a student, and an employee so she doesn’t have much room for hobbies right now. In her spare time, when she is not studying, she enjoys watching Asian TV and spending time with her daughter. She also shares her home with a sphynx cat named Akari and a yorkie-poo named Naomi.
