Ellen

Ellen is a third year veterinary student who wants to specialize in zoo and aquatic animal medicine. She received her undergraduate degree Chemistry and Biochemistry from University of Oklahoma. While she is not studying she enjoys running, shopping, painting, crafting, and cooking. She has a Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever named Prince.

"I knew I wanted to become a veterinarian when my mom told me zookeepers do a lot of cleaning," Ellen said.

Ellen's vet school survival tip: "Do the best you can and then let it go. Nobody can be perfect."
