Surprisingly, while others dream of becoming a firefighter, doctor, or musician, Alex became interested in veterinary medicine at a very young age, thanks to his father, who was also a small animal vet. Spending a lot of time at his father’s veterinary hospital, Alex finally began to enjoy the process and considered a career in veterinary medicine as he grew older.
But how did Alex end up in intensive care? Well, early in her third year of vet school, she met one of the “critics” who showed her all aspects of intensive care and “seemed to fit so well with multiple aspects of Alex’s personality.” Therefore, he decided to build a career in it.
For him, a good critic must be able to think quickly and must be able to multitask. They should also have a good knowledge base and be someone who can perform tasks on the floor, whether it be tube placement or other emergency department procedures.
When not in intensive care, Alex spends most of his time rock climbing. He has rock climbed on several continents and has worked as a professional route planner for indoor climbing gyms across the country.
In addition, Alex is also interested in movies and TV shows.
