Meet Flannery Miley

“Since I started as a float technician [at the Veterinary Medical Center] in 2013, I’ve worked in several roles, including my current position as a project coordinator for VMC administration. Bringing my dogs to the office is a huge perk for me, as is the ability to take classes toward a bachelor’s degree for free using the University’s Regents Scholarship Program.

“I love the people here. Helping share vet tech stories with our Veterinary Medical Center and the greater University community has been and continues to be one of my favorite projects at work.”—Flannery Miley, Project Coordinator, Civil Service
