It’s officially Vet Tech Appreciation Week and we asked you to nominate deserving techs in your life for a chance at a prize pack!
Our first winner is Hannah Jackson, who had the following said in her nomination:
“Hannah Jackson is truly the backbone of our veterinary services department at the STgenetics Ohio Heifer Center, where she has served as our Registered Veterinary Technician for the past seven years. In production and food animal medicine, it takes a rare combination of grit, elite organization, and technical precision to keep an operation running smoothly, and Hannah exemplifies every single one of those qualities daily.
What elevates Hannah from great to truly outstanding is her commitment to leadership, mentorship, and advancing the profession. At our facility, she mentors younger assistants and coordinates hands-on training for veterinary student externs and veterinary technician students, shaping the next generation of animal health professionals. Beyond our farm, she is a certified Calf Care and Quality Assurance (CCQA) trainer and actively contributes as an AABP technician member. Most notably, her service on the AABP Veterinary Technicians Task Force directly helped define and elevate the vital role technicians play across large animal veterinary medicine nationwide.
Hannah’s leadership, clinical expertise, and relentless dedication to our animals and team make her indispensable. She represents the absolute gold standard of what a large animal veterinary technician can achieve, and I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.”
Thanks to Hannah and all vet techs across the country for your hard work and dedication!
