I am a motivated and hardworking doctor of veterinary medicine student with a masters in business on the road to becoming a veterinarian. I bring well-rounded professionalism with experience in the veterinary field, customer service, client education and business practices with a passion for learning to every endeavor I am involved in. From the day that my mentor asked me if I had ever considered veterinary medicine, I never turned back. Over time I have learned to appreciate the true meaning and value of working in the veterinary profession. To have the capability to be there for families at the best, but also the worst times of their animal's lives is invaluable. My goal as I enter into the veterinary profession is to maintain the value of family in veterinary medicine. Veterinary medicine is continuously inching its way towards a corporate mentality. Although veterinary medicine can be a business, it is a family at its core. Families bring their loved ones to us as veterinary professionals to bridge the gap of communication between man and animal. I hope that when I become a veterinarian I can bring a unique sense of empathy and passion for not only the animals but each and every family that I interact with. To me, veterinary medicine is much more than just medicine, or business; it is an extension of my family. I cannot wait to continue on my path to becoming a veterinarian.
