Reason I became a Veterinarian:
I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets and farm animals.  I was always very interested in watching our veterinarian treat our animals and decided very early in life that this is what I wanted to do.
 

Reason I became a Veterinarian:
My initial interest in veterinary medicine grew from a desire to work with exotic and endangered species. Later my interests evolved to include a desire to help people solve their pet-related problems. Veterinary medicine provides me the opportunity to combine technical skills with the intellectual challenges of solving a wide variety of problems. I also enjoy working together as part of a team. Areas of special interest include ophthalmology, behavior, dentistry, dermatology, and client education.
 

Reason I became a Veterinarian:
I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals.  I knew going into college that I wanted to work in the medical field, but it wasn't until my last year at Augustana that I decided to attend veterinarian school.  I originally intended to practice mixed animal medicine.  However, I found that I most enjoyed caring for people's pets.  I am especially interested in anesthesia, pain management, and feline medicine.
