💛 RVT WEEK SPOTLIGHT | Elliott Nunley, RVT 💛
Nominated by Katelyn Keene, RVT, CVBL | Placerville Veterinary Clinic
"Elliott is always early for his shifts with an upbeat attitude and positive outlook on the day, making his team look up to him. He's the one that you have to beg to take a lunch because he doesn't want to leave any recovering patients to anyone else. We are a general practice that sees small animals: cats, dogs, and the occasional small furry critter. This is not Elliott's only job though—he also is the lead RVT at a non-profit low-cost spay and neuter clinic called Animal Outreach, where he works long hours with doctors that average about 50-70 spays and neuters on both cats and dogs per day. The work that he contributes to is drastically cutting down the rate of puppies in shelters in our county. Elliott also performs multiple low-cost dental cleanings on his days at Animal Outreach. He has taught many other RVTs about dental cleanings and extractions, always leading the team to success. He is the guy to go to if you have a question about anything—knowledgeable yet humble. He received his RVT license through the VASE program, an alternative path to traditional schooling. Working all day and attending VASE schooling at night, he achieved his goal. His determination and hard work to be licensed has paid off. He is the hardest worker in the room wherever he goes, many times working 6 days a week. Not only does he work an average of 45-60hours per week, he is also known to volunteer on his day(s) off. He has volunteered with our local human society to provide free vaccines and chipping for the community. His work has directly decreased infectious diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus in our county, in turn protecting local animals and people."
Happy National Veterinary Technician Week, Elliott!
