>> I told my parents when I was four that I was going to be a vet, and it changed.
I think it changed from an interest in pets and loving the furry friendly aspect of it,
and then through college and through a job after college I actually was interested in research
and got involved in genetics research, and so I think there's just a strong science interest
in general that carried me through.
Well, I started for prepping for being vet like when I was in high school,
so I actually got a job in a veterinary hospital starting around the time I was in eighth grade.
And I worked there all through high school as an assistant, so that means mostly cleaning
and holding animals, and bathing and just kind of generally helping, and then I continued
to work at a vet hospital through college.
I received a biology degree, and that was my undergraduate degree, so I received a Bachelor
of Science with a major in biology, and that was for my undergraduate.
And then once you go to vet school most of the schools give you a Doctorate
of Veterinary Medicine, and so then you are a DVM.
