I have made it to Charlottetown, PEI and it’s almost like this veterinary school business is real! Wednesday my parents and I made the drive up from Maine (it took us about 12 hours, plus we forgot the time change and the time at the border crossing where I’d pick up my student visa). It […]
Shannon Emmons
VS4, University of Prince Edward Island’s Atlantic Veterinary College
Shannon grew up in southern Maine with her parents and younger sister, as well as her collection of all creatures great and small. As a kid, Shannon always loved animals and it continues to be true. She knew that she wanted to be a veterinarian, so she spent a lot of time working with veterinarians throughout high school and college. Shannon graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.S. in Animal Science and a minor in Mathematics in 2013, and is now a fourth year at the University of Prince Edward Island’s Atlantic Veterinary College.
In veterinary school, Shannon has explored many aspects in the profession and has developed interests in pathology, dentistry, shelter medicine and animal welfare. Her current plan is to go into general practice upon graduation, though as she has learned so far, you never know what area of veterinary medicine you might fall in love with next.
