Instructor Spotlight: Christy Millett

MK Education is excited to announce that our July 2014 “Instructor of the Month” is Christy Millett, a veterinary technologist who has been teaching the Veterinary Assistant program at the College of DuPage for six semesters. Before she began teaching this program, Christy has been teaching in the veterinary field since 2006.

“I was absolutely thrilled to hear a Veterinary Assistant program was being offered at the College of DuPage. I was really excited to start teaching it,” she said.

Christy absolutely loves teaching the diverse group of students who attend the program every semester, “They come from all walks of life. Some are sure of taking the program, some aren’t. Some learn they found their life’s calling, others found out this is not what they want to do in a much faster and less-costly way than going to veterinary school!”

What Christy really loves about MK Education’s students are that they are so engaged in their work. She says they’re very interested in always learning new things, and she loves seeing them learn a lot from each other.

So what do students and colleagues have to say about Christy’s hard work?

“Christy was a great teacher,” says former student, Nikki Peterkovic, “I enjoyed her teaching style and I learned so much from her. She was very approachable and most of all, I could tell she really cared about the success of her students!” Nikki also says Christy made the class feel like a family which just made the whole experience better and more beneficial.

In their end of class reviews, Christy always gets great responses from her students. They learned so much from her to help them in their externships and jobs. Another student states that Christy was always willing to answer every question on a timely basis, “If she didn’t know the answer, she would find out!”

Bree Abbas, client manager at MK Education, who works with the College of DuPage states, “Christy Millett has shown great dedication to our program and most importantly, to our students. I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback and have seen first-hand how much effort she puts into guiding these students into the veterinary field. Truly, the essence of a professional!”

In the future, Christy plans to continue teaching and would love getting certified in dog therapy. She enjoys reading, writing, hanging out with her dog, dog training and of course - teaching and learning! Other than being a very skilled teacher and a veterinary technologist, Christy says her family and friends state she has Olympic-worthy dog-paddling skills. A perfect fit for a dog lover like herself!

MK Education would like to thank Christy again for her continued hard work and dedication towards the program. It is the efforts of people like Christy who truly make the program a success and bring success and happiness to all the students who pass through it. It is an honor to have Christy as the much deserved, “Instructor of the Month” for July 2014. Feel free to reach out to Christy and congratulate her!
