Biography

Michigan

B.S. in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience, University of Michigan- Ann Arbor, 2024

Why did you choose to pursue this degree, and why did you choose Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine to pursue this degree?
I hope to become a veterinarian one day, but before doing that I want to understand current animal laws. I can use this knowledge to be a better vet for my patients by being knowledgeable on areas that need reforms, and maybe even help create those positive changes.

What are your interests and/or experience relative to your program?
I have a passion for animals that drove me to working as a vet assistant for two years, and then work at a bird rehab center in Michigan for one summer, and then work at a wildlife rehab center in Wisconsin for one summer. The differences between wildlife rehab and standard vet medicine are vast, and I would love to be able to bridge that gap. The MAPP program will equipe me with more knowledge in understanding this disparity better.

What are your career goals after completing the program?
Vet school! Hopefully at Cummings :))
