Rachel Carlier with Lambeau, a cute black and tan mutt
Meet Rachel Carlier

“I like the responsibility of working overnights. There are only a few people in the hospital in the middle of the night, so I get time to teach interns advanced skills. Plus, at the U of M vet techs get to keep learning new techniques and research along with the vet med students. 

“Veterinarians aren’t the only people who get paid to care for animals’ health. Being a vet tech is its own career path, and a very rewarding one at that. I’m not a particularly spiritual person, but if there’s one thing I know, it’s that I was put on this earth to take care of animals. I get to do it every day at the Veterinary Medical Center. 

“The University’s health insurance is a big reason why my wife and I were able to have kids. Plus the perks of working at the VMC include bringing your dog–that’s another reason why I’ve been here for nine years.

“My favorite animal is definitely a moose. I cried like a baby when I saw one in the wild.”—Rachel Carlier, Animal Care Tech Specialist, AFSCME Unit 7 - Technical
