So can you start by telling us a little bit about your journey to veterinary school?

Yeah.

So I'm not your typical vet student.

I have not wanted to be a vet since birth.

Like I had so many different career paths throughout my life.

And I kind of decided on vet school on a whim.

I was in high school and I was like, I would know I want to be a doctor.

but I do think that there are always a couple people that are really competitive and we want to find those people or you want to find those people that are going to lift you up and not drag you down so if you don't want to talk about your grades like for me I don't like talking about my grades with people so me and my friends we don't talk about our grades we'll typically be like hey did you pass or did you like just wanting to support someone but not asking about the details and so that has been really incredible for me to find that group of people that's like hey did you pass like I'm so proud of you if you pass, no matter what the score is, right? And if you fail, how can I come alongside you and help you? So finding those people that are really going to lift you up and not tear you down is so important.
