    Caroline Miskell
    Veterinary Tech School: Purdue University

    After graduating from Purdue University Veterinary technology Program in 1994, I completed an externship at Lincoln Park Hospital and worked at several animal hospitals in the Chicago area.  I also worked as the facility manager and part-time instructor at Joliet Junior College's Veterinary Technology Program for 2 years and at the University of Chicago for 6 years before joining VCA Berwyn Animal Hospital as the technical supervisor.

    I have dedicated my life to serving animals and their people.  I am passionate about my career as a veterinary technician and have been a mentor and advisor to others interested in this field.  I am an active member of the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association and have served on the board of the Veterinary technician Association of Illinois.  

    My family includes my husband Brian, daughter Cassie, Mackenzie, a mixed breed dog, 2 cats Spike and Buckbeak and Bob the Bird, a parakeet.
