Heather Nicole DeFore

I am a LVT that graduated from MSU in 2015. After graduation, I joined MSU Small Animal Clinical Sciences where I was a LVT in the Research Teaching and Technical Support Group. There I assisted in most aspects of pre-clinical and clinical research at the CVM. After four years, I transitioned to working in the MSU Veterinary Medical Center in the Soft Tissue Surgery Service and Primary Care Service; earning the 2022 CVM Excellence in Education: Veterinary Nurse of the Year. In 2024, I have gone back to my roots and am once again coordinating clinical research with the MSU VMC Oncology and Internal Medicine service.
