Alicia Jimmy
Veterinary Assistant
I was inspired to enter the veterinary field by my late dog that was attacked by a cougar. As I
cleaned her wounds and administered medications, I decided that this was something I wanted
to do. I graduated from the VIU Animal Care Aide Program in 2009. I enjoy being a part of surgical procedures and monitoring animals while they are under
anesthetic. What I love most about my job is being a part of animals' lives and helping
veterinarians and technicians ensure our patients' health and comfort.
