Summary

As a student, I prioritize my education before work; my rigorous studies often demand a lot of me, even in addition to working part-time. I greatly enjoy opportunities to challenge myself and learn, which is part of the reason I am interested in veterinary medicine. My experiences range from an animal shelter, a goat farm, and a small animal clinic - all of which have taught me practical skills and knowledge, but also about the realities of the field.


Science, specifically medicine, has always been a discipline that has interested me greatly. It is something that takes hard work and humility, two things I believe (and have been told) I have. My goals are to find a job that teaches and inspires me toward my career aspirations, as well as be of service to those around me.
