Hello everyone! My name is Shelby and I’m a part of the Class of 2024. I moved to Oregon a few years ago after completing my undergraduate degree (B.S. in Geology with an emphasis in Paleontology) at SDSU in California. So if you are worried about not having a “pre-vet med” degree, I am here to tell you that is ok! The small class sizes at the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine made it easy for me to reach out to professors and form a connection, even though almost everything was over Zoom this past year. I have worked in veterinary clinics for the last 5 years and loved every second of it. After graduating I will be pursuing a career in Veterinary Pathology, mostly focusing on forensics, which means…more school! Outside of classes I enjoy the nerd life playing Dungeons & Dragons, and finding things to do that will make me a better PC (I like to hike, rock climb and need to brush up on archery). Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have!
