It’s been four months since I officially became a senior vet student! It seems like it was yesterday when I spent all my weekends in the anatomy lab during my first year. I started my vet school journey three years ago and time has flown by. Sometimes I still cannot believe that my third year is […]
2:00 pm Christmas afternoon – only ten more hours to go. I was a first-year resident at the Animal Medical Center (AMC) in New York City, running the hospital and overseeing 20 interns on the one major holiday I was required to cover during my residency in avian and exotic pet medicine. The AMC was […]

I am happy to report that both of my sweet patients recovered […]
I recently found myself thinking “Wow!! How did I make it to 4th year so fast? What’s next after NAVLE? How can I make sure that I don’t make any mistakes this last year applying for jobs (I probably will make many mistakes), setting priorities? When do I start actually applying for a job? How […]
Failure occurs every single day of my life. I have gotten used to it. Fails can range from something as innocuous as falling off of a swing (and inevitably having my friend Paige capture the moment on camera) to failing to go through my entire callback list or emails at the end of a long […]
This semester I’m taking an elective course focusing on avian and exotic animal medicine. It is primarily geared to the common pets that we will see in general practice that aren’t cats, dogs, horses, or cows. So far, it is my favorite class this semester.
