Some fun facts are I also have a fraternal twin who works in the human medical field! I also have a huge passion for working with avians and aspire to one day join the ABVP as a board member or practicing veterinarian! During my term, I hope to expand knowledge from every coast and corner about the APVMA and our annual symposium to as many Pre-Vet undergraduate clubs and programs as I can!
