I am primarily interested in equine medicine but I am open to a mixed practice. I grew up in a rural setting and would prefer to return an agricultural area upon graduation. I have a desire to learn, an enthusiasm for veterinary medicine, a desire to give back to the community, and a conscientious, down to earth manner.
