Biography
Worcester, MA
B.A. Environmental Science and Spanish, Saint Anselm College, 2016
Why did you choose to pursue this degree, and why did you choose Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine to pursue this degree?
When I first discovered the MAPP program, I had no idea that something like it existed and quickly recognized it as something I’d been searching for my entire life. I was familiar with the Cummings School having grown up in the area and attending an after-school program here back in 6th grade. Finding such a unique program at such a prestigious institution that had always been there in my own backyard felt like serendipity!
What are your interests and/or experience relative to your program?
I’m very interested in companion animals—particularly cats and community cats’ issues, service/assistance animals, the human-animal bond and its effects on mental health/wellness, animal rescue and rehabilitation, and animals in entertainment.
What are your career goals after completing the program?
I’m not sure exactly where I’ll be post-MAPP, but it is my sincere hope and belief that I’ll be on my way to a career where I feel spiritually fulfilled, and where I feel I’m making a difference and following my calling of working with and helping animals.
