Jessica Cataldi

It was very important for Jessica Cataldi to come to college. "I wanted to further my education to better myself for my future. Delaware Tech has allowed me to expand my knowledge on veterinary medicine and has opened up my eyes to new career pathways in the veterinary technology field."

During her second year in the veterinary technology program, Jessica's grandfather passed away. "It flipped my world upside down. He was one of the reasons why I have grown to love animals and veterinary medicine so much." Jessica said there is not a day that goes by that she doesn't think of him, but she believes he is smiling down on her. "He is proud of the woman I am becoming."

Jessica advised students to get involved in clubs or athletics on campus. "It allows you to broaden the scope of what college is supposed to be like and meet amazing people."

After graduation, Jessica plans to work in a small animal practice as a licensed veterinary technician. "I want to work alongside animals to improve their health and the human-animal bond."
