Alexandra

Alex

Alex is a senior Biomedical Sciences undergraduate student.  She would like to pursue a career as a veterinarian.  Alex fosters needy animals from the Brazos Animal Shelter and when she is not studying you can find her reading, dancing, and baking.

"I knew I wanted to become a veterinarian when I visited my mother's family ranches as a young girl.  Being around all of those animals made me happy, and I knew being able to care for them would provide a fulfilling career for me."

Alex's school survival tip is: "Break assignments up into manageable tasks. When an assignment seems too overwhelming, it becomes too difficult to start and it becomes very easy to procrastinate.  Once the assignment is broken up, develop a timeline so that you stay on track."
