I am an undergraduate student seeking to launch a career in veterinary medicine. Growing up around cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and lots of dogs, cultivated my deep love of animals. However, living in Michigan means limited opportunities to explore a wide range of specializations, such as marine biology. Although I have tried to immerse myself in as many opportunities that arise, I still find that my allurement remains in marine science. Regardless of whether I would be working with marine mammals, rescue, or sea turtles, I am excited to contribute to the Clearwater Aquarium team and stretch my learning in a new direction.
