Sam Patera is a registered veterinary technician working in emergency medicine. We learn about Sam’s time working as a keeper aide at the Santa Barbara Zoo, how she took the leap to become an RVT, and how she manages imposter syndrome in the field. We discuss the tricky parts of her job, such as having to wear multiple hats on top of her primary role as a nurse, and presenting large financial estimates. We also hear about some of the wonderful animals Sam has worked with so far!
