Biography
New York
B.A. Biology and Spanish College, Clark University, 2023
Why did you choose to pursue this degree, and why did you choose Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine to pursue this degree?
I was unsure on what to do post-graduation. I had the privilege to meet with a professor from the program and learn so much about the courses themselves and hear first-hand students’ experiences.
I have always had a love for animals and have wanted to do a career working with them. This program will definitely deepen my knowledge of policy and human-animal relationships to better animal lives in the future.
What are your career goals after completing the program?
My goal has always been to go to veterinary school. Since I was little, I always told my dad that I would be a “doggy” and “kitty” doctor. I want to get my DVM and open up my own practice aimed to low-income Spanish speaking areas, as only 5% of veterinarians are Latinx. I want to be the change for the community as I have always had to be the translator for my family at all veterinary visits.
