Field of Study
Veterinary Technology星空传媒 native Cyndi Ballard didn鈥檛 start out at TCC. But after earning a bachelor鈥檚 degree in French from Oklahoma State University and spending 20 years in the telecom and manufacturing fields, she decided to move into a career that inspired her passion.
With experience in animal rescue and training, Cyndi decided to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology from TCC.
鈥淚 set a goal for myself that I want to be doing something I care about,鈥 she said. 鈥淎nimals have always been a huge part of my life.鈥
By enrolling in the Veterinary Technology program housed at TCC鈥檚 West Campus, Cyndi has a quick route to certification as a Registered Veterinary Technician.
鈥淚 think the associate degree program suits me as the best mixture between animal care and hands-on working with animals,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 want to go back to school for another seven years; I wanted to rapidly get into a field I care about.鈥
