Peyton Cole

I have developed a grounded background in animal science, lab research, and critical thought by being a Biomedical Sciences major and an Honors student. I have had many experiences throughout my academic career, from volunteering for animal care to genomic research, to demonstrate my dedication to scientific research and my service to ethics and vocation.
I am dedicated to veterinary medicine, and I am eager to apply my curiosity, compassion, and perseverance to the profession. I am ready to transition to the next stage in my career to be a competent, compassionate veterinarian.
