Tell us about your World Vets Journey. How did you get involved? I first heard about World Vets during my first year of Vet School, and thought it sounded amazing. I went on my first trip after my second year of Vet School and I loved it!
- How many trips have you volunteered with World Vets? I’ve been on 3 trips, and am registered for 2 more this summer.
- Do you have a favorite location? Pisac, Peru
- What inspires you to volunteer for World Vets? The people in the communities we service- seeing the love that they have for their animals and the smiles on their faces.
- Do you have a favorite World Vets experience? I’d say staying in the jungle in Livingston, Guatemala. That is something I never imagined I would ever do, and something I doubt I will ever do again. It was hot and sticky and buggy, but I wouldn’t change a thing about that trip!
- What would you tell future volunteers for World Vets? If there is any part of you that is interested in taking a trip – do it! The experience you’ll get will be worth it. Also, if you’re extremely adventurous, sign up for a pilot project. Things are sometimes fly-by-the-seat-of-the pants, and you never know what unexpected things you’ll encounter, but I think that makes the trips all the better!
- When you’re not volunteering for World Vets, what does the rest of your life look like? I’ve been married for 19 years. We have 3 amazing dogs: Mearl, Rudd, and Rusty. We live on the coast, and spend as much time as possible at the beach. I also love to run, and have done about 20 marathons/ultra marathons.
