Julieanne Stiles
Veterinary Assistant, Student, Undergraduate Researcher
LEXINGTON,KY
Summary
I am a devoted veterinary assistant, student, and undergraduate researcher. Although different, these roles have well-equipped me for veterinary school. I have gained approximately 1,400 hours of clinical experience under a veterinarian. My interest in veterinary medicine is in mixed practice, which is reflected in the species I have worked with, including horses, small ruminants, small companion animals, and exotics. Being an undergraduate research student has made me proficient in public speaking and data analysis. My coursework in anatomy, biology, and chemistry as an animal science student has prepared me well to be a future veterinary student.
