Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology

Brittany Towell grew up in the Yakima Valley and was primarily raised in the city of Tieton. After graduating from Highland High School, Towell became a supervisor at a local retail store. Wanting to pursue new opportunities that would lead to a viable career, she decided to attend YVCC’s Veterinary Technology Program. “I’ve always loved animals. We always had a lot of animals growing up. I became inspired by our veterinarian to explore the possibility of pursuing a career in the field,” stated Towell. “I choose YVCC’s program because of the quality of the education and the convenient location. I didn’t want to move to another area of the state to attend school,” she concluded. While working on her degree she also worked part-time as a veterinary assistant. Towell graduated in June 2013 with an associate of applied science degree in veterinary technology. Following graduation she immediately began working at Summitview Cowiche Veterinary Clinic.
