"At this point in my studies, I am most interested in Emergency and Critical Care as I have always enjoyed working at a swift pace and perform best under pressure. Also, most of my volunteer experience has been around emergency animal issues. My least favorite veterinary medicine area so far is Laboratory Animal Medicine. Working in a lab setting does not interest me because I want to one day provide direct care to the animals under my watch."
