Alyssa Borden wants you to find your passion in life

Burn out is a real, and pervasive problem in the vet industry. People work long hours, often in emotionally charged situations, and often throw a work/life balance out the window. Veterinary technician, Alyssa Borden, knows first hand just how tough this problem can be.

After struggling with the huge burden of hating the job she used to love, Alyssa got the best advice she would ever get in her career—“If you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life.”

She made the difficult decision to leave the clinic, and to set off on a new adventure instead. This decision lead her to Vetsie, a virtual care clinic that would help her strike a better work life balance. It ended up being a great decision for her. Vetsie allowed her to continue offering care to animals and helping owners in need, without feeling overwhelmed or burned out by her job.
