"I have a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science. During my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to take many hands-on animal science courses integrated with my school's on-campus farm. I gained skills in large animal handling and learned how to work with sheep and chickens! I have completed two internships with veterinarians, which gave me valuable clinic experience. These experiences fascinated me and drove me to become a veterinarian and reach the highest education possible in animal care and veterinary sciences."
