In this episode of "Desk Wench Confessions," hosted by Caitlin Palmer, we have the pleasure of introducing Paola Domínguez-López, a dedicated veterinary technician and esteemed member of the American Heartworm Society's board of directors. Paola's unwavering love for animals has been a lifelong calling. As a child, her greatest aspiration was to provide care for animals in distress, especially those without a place to call home.
Paola's parents nurtured her passion for animals by involving her in agriculture programs like 4-H. Over time, she realized that her true calling lay in the field of veterinary medicine. Consequently, she enrolled in the Veterinary Nursing Program at St. Petersburg College.
During her journey towards becoming a veterinary nurse, Paola generously dedicated her time to volunteering at local animal shelters. These experiences eventually led her to secure a position at a nearby animal hospital, where she worked diligently and evolved into a skilled veterinary technician.
Today, Paola is living her dream at the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital, where she expertly combines her nursing expertise with her heartfelt commitment to shelter animals. She currently serves in the Veterinary Community Outreach Program within the shelter medicine department, allowing her to extend her compassionate care to shelter animals while pursuing her beloved career.

21 Questions with Dr. Ivan Zakharenkov
Monday Mar 27, 2023
Monday Mar 27, 2023
Every veterinarian has experienced burnout at one time or another. It is one of the biggest pressures on the industry, alongside student debt and suicide rates. After 12 years as an ER veterinarian, Dr. Ivan Zakharenkov was among the many veterinarians who are so burned out, they knew a change was the only option.
After so many years fighting to save animals on the frontlines, Dr. Ivan made the switch from helping animals, to helping other veterinarians. He chose to create a company instead with the focus on helping vet offices prevent burnout in the workplace.
That's why he created Galaxy Vets- a veterinary group committed to providing access to care for pets when and where they need it while supporting the mental health and well-being of our healthcare teams.
