Summary

Motivated Animal Science major at Tuskegee University with a strong passion for veterinary medicine and animal welfare. I am gaining valuable hands-on experience in both small and large animal care through clinical work, volunteer service, and academic involvement. My leadership roles demonstrate dedication, compassion, and a commitment to excellence in every setting. I aspire to become an equine veterinarian and one day own my own farm and veterinary clinic, where I can provide quality care and education to both animals and their owners.
