If you didn't work in veterinary medicine, what would you be doing?

I would want to be a successful travel blogger, getting to travel the world, go on all kinds of adventures, and eat delicious new foods. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, there is so much in the world to see and experience!

If you could only eat one food forever, what would it be?

Pasta! Italian food is my absolute favorite. I will definitely be spending lots of time in the North End now that I am in Boston.

What inspired you to work in the veterinary profession?

I have been chasing my dream of becoming a veterinarian since I was 5 years old, essentially when I realized that there was a job that would let me help animals for a living. Animals and helping others are my greatest passions in life and I am so thankful to be in a field that combines both.
