CREAM Dairy Farm
During the Summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to work on UVM's Dairy Farm with CREAM. The connection I built with our cows and the wonderful people I met made this experience something I will never forget! I couldn't have asked for a better way to start my journey in the animal science field!
Besides personal-skill building, learning to milk and work on a dairy farm, I was able to soak in so much medical information from our advisor, Dr. Wadsworth. Several times a week we had the luxury to met for his lectures and team meetings focused on bovine medicine. Topics we learned and applied were: physical exams, the gestation period, calf care, nutrition, pathology, and so much more!
On the side, I was thrilled to have joined the UVM Show Team to walk one of our calves, Addison, at the Addison County Fair in Vermont! Weeks of preparation went into this show, including grooming, lead-training, and a focused diet for our showing cows. It was so enjoyable to further work with other animal lovers and to watch everyone perform. This fair exposed me to the hard working community of farming Vermonters. It was truly riveting to see some of their lives' work come to fruition.

For the past year, I've been working overnight as a Veterinarian Assistant at Burlington Emergency and Veterinary Specialists (BEVS). Kicking off my clinical experience at an emergency animal hospital has been nothing short of transformative.
Working in a fast-paced environment became my training ground, expanding my knowledge and developing new skills. Each shift brought on new challenges, that not only strengthened my critical thinking and decision making, but also fueled my passion for providing the best possible care for animals and their families.
I am immensely proud of the skills I acquired and the resilient compassion I learned during moments of crisis. Beyond the technical skills, BEVS taught me the art of effective communication, both with clients and coworkers. I couldn't be any more thankful for my mentors and for being a part of both a supportive and inspiring work culture.
Enjoy these photos of some peaceful moments!
