Hi, my name is Stephanie Johns and I am the fulltime LVT for Baker College in Port Huron. I have been teaching and working in the veterinary technology program at Port Huron since 2007. Prior to teaching full time, I worked in a mixed animal practice for six years and owned my own pet sitting business. My love of animals has been there since I was a child, but it was not until I was in my 30s when I finally turned that love into a career. I will be graduating with my Bachelors in Health Services Administration in the spring of 2011 and hope to continue inspiring veterinary technology students and educating our community about the value of licensed veterinary technicians.
My home life includes a Labrador Retriever--Delilah; a German Short Haired Pointer--Zelda; my hurricane Katrina AND Rita survivor -- Bruno who is a Labrador/pit mix and my constant classroom companion, our latest adoptee, a very long mini-dachshund--Schweini who was thrown out of a moving car and we are the “accepted” family to my 16 year old daughter’s Siamese mix –Naomi. It is a very full and active house and we all enjoy hiking and camping in the summer. Free time is spent trying to stay active by biking, exercising, and playing with the dogs.
I look forward to representing our association in matters that concern legislation and continuing education as well as adhering to a high standard of quality for our profession. I desire to continue fostering good will throughout the community as my predecessors have done and listening to what our members are saying so that we can move our profession forward.
