Celebrating Courteney Coughlin at CityPaws Animal Hospital – 14th Street
Let’s give a big round of applause for Courteney Coughlin, the Associate Practice Manager at CityPaws Animal Hospital 14th Street! Courteney has been a valuable member of the CityPaws team for seven years, and her dedication and hard work have propelled her into a management role.
Starting as a CSR in 2016, Courteney quickly showed her potential by moving into different roles, including VA and CSR Supervisor. Her hard work and persistence paid off when she was appointed Associate Practice Manager in November 2022.
Courteney loves working with Larry, the Practice Manager at both CityPaws locations, and has enjoyed the transition into her new role. Her passion for working with people and animals is evident, and she is grateful for the support she receives from Carol, her Leadership Success Coach, and everyone at Encore.
One of Courteney’s recent projects has been addressing scheduling challenges for both CityPaws locations. Her experience as a CSR and CSR Supervisor has been particularly helpful in developing a new CSR training manual! This has been a valuable resource for new hires who join their team.
Courteney’s customer service experience has been invaluable as the Associate Practice Manager. Her time working as a server and bartender has taught her how to handle complex interactions with clients and employees calmly and patiently. Courteney is proud to work alongside her colleagues and admires how everyone works together in chaotic situations.
Thank you Courteney, for your hard work and dedication to CityPaws Animal Hospital 14th Street. Your team is lucky to have you!
