Who the Heck Are You?

Hi Guys! I’m Maddy!

I’m a 4th Year Veterinary Student in Minnesota. I’m a non-traditional student with an equine focus. I’ve worked with a variety of clubs over my time in vet school including those focusing on equine, small ruminants, surgery, and community medicine. Equine sports medicine, surgery, and community medicine are some of my favorite aspects of vet med and hope to pursue a career in one of those niches.

I have two troublemaking dogs, a geriatric horse, a gang of backyard chickens, their mob leader duck, and a couple tanks of fish.

When I was just starting in vet school, I often turned to resources like the Student Doctor Network for advice and wish I had more resources to tell me what to expect going into each phase of vet school. I’m here to share my experiences through school and beyond, offer advice for students just starting to pursue their journey to vet school, offer guidance to those in the thick of their program, and have a little bit of fun along the way.
