Rian Ashmore in the Veterinary Medical Center
Meet Rian Ashmore

“It’s exciting to be a part of an organization that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in veterinary medicine. At the Veterinary Medical Center, I get to work with cutting-edge equipment and experts in veterinary and human medicine. 

“In my eight years with the VMC, I’ve assisted in open heart surgery and cared for dogs, cats, farm animals, seals, foxes, and even a sloth. The variety of projects and the fast-paced flow of the VMC mean that I’m always learning new things, but my biggest takeaway is that animals receive the best care when a team of passionate people work together to treat them. I’m proud to be a part of that team.”—Rian Ashmore, Animal Care Tech Specialist, AFSCME Unit 7 - Technical
