Meet Amber LaRock, a credentialed veterinary technician living in Thailand. While her day job involves marketing and social media work for a veterinary aftercare supply company, she spends her off hours volunteering at local animal charities and creating social media content that inspires other veterinary professionals to incorporate travel into their lives.
In her content creation, she strives to help foster open mindedness and compassion in others. “I love that the veterinary and human experience is so deeply intertwined. When supporting pets and community animals, we are also helping the people that love and care for them. We get to make an impact for everyone, and that’s just so cool!”
