Palm Beach Equine Clinic Veterinary Technician Highlight: Laura Romero

Which veterinarian do you work with, and how long have you been at Palm Beach Equine Clinic?

I work with Dr. Bryan Dubynsky who specializes in sport horse medicine. I started working at Palm Beach Equine Clinic at the beginning of 2022. I began as a veterinary technician in the Hospital Barn and then transitioned to working with Dr. Dubynsky.

What does a typical day look like for you at Palm Beach Equine Clinic?

A typical day starts with restocking the vet truck. I always make sure we have all the drugs and supplies we will need for the day. Once the truck is stocked, we spend the day traveling to different barns in the area treating and evaluating horses.

What made you decide to become a veterinary technician?

I grew up in Okeechobee, FL, and I enrolled in my high school’s veterinarian program. I was also part of the agricultural program at my school. I found both of those courses very interesting, and they inspired me to become a veterinary technician.

What is your background with horses?

I grew up riding western as a kid and always loved being around horses.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I love to travel and spend time with my friends.
