Gabrielle Poirier

Kennel assistant and Veterinarian student

What does your pet mean to you?

My cat Voodoo is a real little survivor. When he was only a little kitten, he underwent surgery during which he had cardiac and respiratory arrest. After multiple resuscitation attempts, the team at Poirier O’Brien Veterinary Hospital managed to bring him back to life. He had to relearn how to walk, eat and live. Although he cannot see … He is a real survivor! He’s my little sweetheart, he’s always there to comfort me especially during difficult times.

What makes you, you? What makes you unique and indispensable at work, but also in your personal life?

I think what makes me unique is the fact that I always want to give the best of myself at all times. Therefore, I use this quality at work by helping my colleagues and my team as much as possible. My ultimate goal is to make sure customers are happy and satisfied with their experience at the hospital. I find joy in helping colleagues and clients and I believe this asset will serve me well upon graduating from the veterinary medicine doctorate program.
