Sharon Swan, Veterinary Technician
After her career as a Financial Analyst at Georgian College in Barrie, Sharon enrolled in the Veterinary Technician program at Georgian. Given her love of animals it was a natural choice for her to choose this path.
Her place has always been home to many cats, dogs and horses. As well as domestic animals she has an interest in wildlife, having earned a Certificate in Wildlife Rehabilitation. Over the years she has fostered numerous cats and dogs, as well as one horse, some of which turned out to be permanent fosters.
After graduation while working at a local clinic she was introduced to the sport of dog agility which has become her passion. As well as agility her hobbies include snowshoeing, hiking and gardening. She lives on 26 acres with her 2 cats, Gracie and Edith Mae Morris and her shelties Gforce and Javelin.
