Hello everyone, my name is Kimmi and I am an avid animal lover! Growing up, my family has taken care of a variety of pets such as dogs, cats, rats, fish, chickens, and even a leopard gecko at one point. Working with animals has been something I've wanted to pursue for a long time. Specifically, I am interesting in working towards a career as a veterinary surgeon. However, I know that as my education progresses and I get more hands, my interests may change toward other paths in the veterinary field. Nevertheless, whatever job my future self ends up at, I know that this program will provide me the foundational knowledge and experience I need to exceed. I am so incredible thankful to have been chosen as a participant, and I am excited to start working with everyone!
