“As a first-generation student, I have learned that it matters not where you come from, but what you do with the support you have been given. As I look forward to graduating in 2025, I am humbled by the generosity of benefactors who invested in my future and that of other students.

As a first-generation student, I have learned that it matters not where you come from, but what you do with the support you have been given.

Their financial support has allowed me to contribute to groundbreaking orthopedic research and publish research articles, while also investing in my education to become an equine veterinarian.

The opportunity to follow all my passions would not be possible without their help. I thank all who have invested in us. The future of veterinary medicine would not be possible without you!”
