Vet Tech Cafe - Garnetta Santiago Episode

Hello Caffeinators, we hope you're well! We're bringing you our next episode with Garnetta Santiago, MA, LVT to talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion in our field. If you heard our recent episode with Harold Davis (if not, why not? Download it now!), Garnetta was his recommendation for who we should interview next. Garnetta is currently the Manager of Academic and Professional Affairs for Zoetis, driving strategic engagement with Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Technology programs throughout the US and Caribbean. She talked to us about her work and some of the different programs that are available for DEI training. We discussed the larger scope of where we're at currently on these issues, where we've come from, and areas where we can continue to improve.  Many of the points she makes really made us think and it was wonderful to continue this conversation we started in 2020. We could've talked to Garnetta for hours, and we hope this was just the first episode with her so we can dive deeper into some of these points soon!
