After graduating from Evanston Township High School, Paige had goals for herself. She wanted a job working with animals and to move out with her best friend. Animals always had a special place in her life, and caring for three dogs at home—a corgi-beagle mix, a Chiweenie, and a Maltipoo—gave her confidence and skills with the everyday responsibilities of a pet owner.
Berglund Animal Hospital, in her hometown, was a natural fit. “Paige has a love and passion for animals,” shared Tracy, the Lead Client Service Representative, “and is always willing to share a story about her dogs at home.” she continued.
Dr. Fionnuala (Lu) Teuber, the owner of Berglund Animal Hospital, worked with TotalLink to identify responsibilities that the hospital needed with Paige's strengths and skills. Paige restocks medical supplies, sanitizes exam rooms, does laundry, files patient records, and helps keep the waiting area organized and clean. Working as a Veterinary Support Associate has allowed Paige to expand her skill set, including working with a team and adhering to essential safety rules around hurt or sick animals.
Now, Paige can focus on her next big goal: moving out with her best friend. Our guess is the place will need to allow animals.
