Tori’s Bio
Hi, I’m Victoria Hammock, but most people call me Tori. I work at a busy veterinary hospital, where I have the opportunity to care for animals of all shapes and sizes every day. My role is both challenging and rewarding. I’m currently studying to become a registered RVT, which requires a lot of dedication, hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for animal welfare. I care deeply about animals and love making a difference in their lives, whether it’s helping a pet recover from surgery or simply offering a reassuring presence during a stressful visit.
When I’m not at work or studying, I love spending time outdoors. I enjoy hiking with my dog, exploring new trails and parks, and going horseback riding whenever I get the chance. I’m always eager to learn more about animal care, so I often read books and articles about veterinary medicine and animal behavior. I also value the time I get to spend with my family and friends, whether we’re having a game night or just catching up over coffee. In addition to my work and studies, I’m passionate about personal growth and adventure. My next goal is to get my A license in skydiving. Looking to the future, I hope to specialize in animal behavior or emergency care and continue expanding my skills to become a leader in the veterinary field. I’m always seeking new ways to challenge myself and make a positive impact, both in my career and within my community.
My Core Values
- Honesty: being true to oneself. Rigorous honesty, lies deep inside yourself, and if your not being honest your not living to your full potential
- Life is for living so live it: saying, “yes” will open doors. I used to be afraid to try new things, but the more I said “yes” the more I learned what life had to offer
- Humility: is not putting your self above or below anyone else. Growing up, I was always putting my self down. True humility is acceptance of one’s flaws and assets
- Love: love is a word with many meanings. But love for oneself is the only way of true acceptance
- Acceptance: when we have acceptance over the things we can’t control we can let go of what’s holding us back
- Responsibility: taking accountability of one’s actions. When we do that we can see our impact on situations
- Authenticity: being oneself. When we can truly, let ourselves shine we can truly love every version past and present
