Seth Williams
Fourth-Year, University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine
Seth is a fourth-year veterinary student at University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. He was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. He began his undergraduate career as both a music and biology major with the hopes of going to medical school. But after several twists and turns in honing his passions and interests, he received a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Miami where he studied music business and entertainment industries, marketing, and business administration. After a successful four-year career in event production, Seth made a realization that his long-term professional goals could all be fulfilled in a single career: veterinary medicine. For him, veterinary medicine provides the framework to simultaneously practice medicine, work with the animals we love, build personal relationships, and make a lasting impact on his community. He especially hopes to uphold and strengthen the human-animal bond.
In 2010 Seth launched the Vet School Unleashed: Dissecting the DVM podcast that provides a candid and collaborative commentary on topics, issues, and insight on life in veterinary school. Seth is married the love of his life, Becca, and they have two "kids," Cane (golden retriever) and Chase (cockapoo).
