Veterinary Medicine – Marine Animals

My career plan as of now is to attend veterinary school after undergrad. I currently would like to focus on aquatic mammals but am open to my interests changing over time. When I graduate from vet school, I either want to work at an aquarium/zoo or with marine rescue and rehabilitation.

During the summer of 2019, I will be working at a veterinary hospital in Santa Rosa, California as a veterinary assistant. This opportunity will allow me to experience first-hand what a future career could look like if I decide to pursue veterinary medicine.

In addition, I am using the money provided by STEP to participate in a sea turtle conservation and research program based in Costa Rica. This project focuses on both aspects of my personal interests and career goals of working with (marine) animals.
