Hi there! My name is Shayley, and I am a student in the Class of 2029. I am from Southern California and went to Cal Poly Pomona for my bachelors in animal science degree and am interested in small animal medicine. Before coming to OSU for vet school, I took a couple gap years and in that time was able to travel, learn to surf, participate in some community volunteering, gain work experience at a couple different animal hospitals and of course spend time with my cat Chip (the big guy pictured). Jumping back into school has been an adjustment, but the resources and support at this school have definitely made the transition smoother. A couple other things I enjoy are learning to play different songs on the ukulele and hiking. I am currently trying to hit as many Oregon hikes as I can! Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or just want to chat!
