"My life-long dream has always been to become a veterinarian. My innate love of animals led me to begin working in a small animal clinic. I diligently worked my way up until I became the doctor’s technician. It was then that I realized how challenging, yet rewarding veterinary medicine truly was! My aspiration, persistence and strong work ethic allowed me to consistently maintain excellent grades in my undergraduate courses and ultimately be accepted into veterinary school. I eagerly anticipate my graduation next May and beginning my career as a small animal veterinarian in my home state of New Jersey."
