Goals
To begin my career as a veterinarian with a practice that emphasizes a high standard of patient care and
compassion for clients and patients. Ideally, this would be a mixed practice setting with at least partial
involvement in ambulatory work doing equine and food animal practice in addition to providing companion
animal care. This practice should have a strong focus on continuing education and be a supportive
environment for me to further my skills.
