Bio: Allyne Moon has been working in veterinary medicine since 1992. She received her LVT license from the State of Alaska in 2003, her Californian RVT license in 2004, is an Expert Witness for the State of California, and is a former VMB Hospital Inspector.  As a result of a continued interest in improving the veterinary community, she lectures nationally and locally on a variety of subjects including:  veterinary forensics, shelter medicine, radiation safety, suicide prevention, compassion fatigue, and veterinary law.  Allyne’s love for animals led her to work for an open-admission municipal animal shelter in Southern California, treating a wide variety of animals and conditions ranging from upper respiratory infections to gunshot wounds and vehicular trauma.   She now works as Membership Secretary at the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association in Cypress, CA.  In her “spare time,” Allyne volunteers at veterinary free clinics run by Downtown Dog Rescue (South Central LA) and Amanda Foundation (Watts).  She is also heavily involved in veterinary professional organizations, to include having served as the chair of the Para-Professional Chapter of the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association (2009-2015), the SCVMA Wellness Task Force, on the advisory board of Cal Poly Pomona and Stanbridge University’s RVT programs, secretary of the SCVMA Educational Grant Board, Past President of the California Registered Veterinary Technicians Association, and is the first non-DVM to be appointed to the SCVMA  Board of Trustees.    These groups enable Allyne to help assistants and RVT’s continue to move ahead in the field of Veterinary Medicine.
