Brooklynn Balic
Hi, I’m Brooklynn!
I’m a DVM student from British Columbia and completed my undergraduate studies at University of British Columbia—Okanagan. I started the DVM program on the Pullman campus as a member of the class of 2027. This is my third year as an ambassador- check out my spotlight feature! I’m also a social media manager for the DVM program.
I’d love to talk to you about anything DVM related!

Endless! If you are interested in a certain field of veterinary medicine, it is likely that there is a club that exists for that field (or you can start one!). Participating in different clubs at WSU has been a great opportunity for me to practice new skills, as well as learn a wealthy of interesting information.
As someone who had never lived away from home, I chose WSU primarily for its proximity. Being able to go home frequently and visit my family, and to have them there for me as a support system, really helped me to get through those first few months of settling in in Pullman.
Trust in yourself and your capabilities. Vet school can be stressful, and it’s totally normal to find that you’re comparing yourself to others around you. Know that whatever comes at you, you will get through it in the end!
