"I have many areas of interest and, at this point, am not committed to any particular specialty. I have only worked around small animals, but I do not want to limit my specialty to a particular area until I have attended veterinary school and see what options are out there."
Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.
At this point in your journey, you have most likely figured out what interests you most in the veterinary field. If you have not decided and want to wait until you have more exposure to the different specialty areas while attending veterinary school, explain that to the interviewers.
