Madison Ellis in the Veterinary Medical Center
Meet Madison Ellis

"What I love most about working at the Veterinary Medical Center (VMC) is that I've been able to learn what I'm passionate about and improve my knowledge in internal medicine every day. I can also make decisions about our equipment due to my expertise. Vet techs at the VMC do much more than take orders—we play active roles in shaping our clients' care.
 
"The benefits at the University are amazing. I've taken advantage of the free Employee Assistance Program to improve my mental health and to help me be the best team member I can be, and I've also used the free financial counseling to help me manage budgeting and student loans. Getting paid sick and vacation time off is wonderful too.
 
"In the future, I want to teach other vet techs, and I know that the University will support me as I keep learning and growing as a vet tech."—Madison Ellis, Senior Veterinary Technician, AFSCME Unit 7 - Technical
