I still remember being in my living room when I was three years old, playing with animal figurines, and having my parents explain that there was such a thing as a doctor for animals. I did multiple internships and shadowing experiences at clinics, shelters, and a zoo, where I took care of animals, large (giraffes) and small (hamsters), during my time as a pre-vet student. My interests did shift and I am now a Masters in Conservation Medicine student at Tufts University, but my love for animals has always been an integral part of who I am. I am currently working from home (writing my thesis), so my schedule is fairly flexible! I have had pets my entire life and love caring for any and all dogs.
