Why did you choose to work in the veterinary industry?

I have always been interested in healthcare/medicine and started out on the human side of things.  It wasn’t until I became a volunteer at an animal shelter and started fostering that I realized I wanted to make a difference in the lives of animals as well.  The veterinary profession allows me the chance to be in both worlds, human, and animals!
