Before coming to Hockessin, Tara was a Kennel Attendant at another practice for 2 years and prior to that she worked in customer service for a produce company. After being shown a glimpse of the world of surgery, she was hooked and knew she wanted to do more in the Veterinary field. While trained on the job, Tara registered with the state when her eligible hours were reached, to take the VTNE test and receive certification. Her 5 year goals include expanding her technician skill set and gaining experience in the Surgery & Anesthesia departments. In her downtime, Tara enjoys movies, video games, crafting (with resin) and training her cats to do fun tricks, like high five. She shares her home with a 16 year old cat named Genesi.
