Emma, a master’s student in the veterinary public health and epidemiology program, spent the semester working on her directed study.

In her study, Emma researched antimicrobial resistance by studying multi-drug resistant microbes in recreational environments. This experiences allowed Emma to learn essential lab protocols and gain a deep appreciation for the vital role environmental research plays in understanding and combating antimicrobial resistance.

Emma hopes to utilize her new skills to pioneer innovative strategies that protect animal and human health!
