Hi, I’m Alex!
I’m a DVM student from Nevada and completed my undergraduate studies at University of Nevada, Reno. I started the DVM program on the Pullman campus as a member of the class of 2027. This is my second year as an ambassador- check out my spotlight feature!
I’d love to talk to you about research opportunities in the DVM program, including the Summer Research Fellowship, being a non-traditional student, and maintaining my school/life balance.

What makes the WSU CVM truly special is the cooperation, collaboration, and unwavering support shared between faculty, staff, and students. It creates a community where you feel like you belong and where everyone is genuinely invested in each other’s success.
To maintain a school/life balance, I cut myself off from studying at 8:00 p.m. I don’t do all-nighters. I give it my all during the day, but always allow myself to get a good night’s sleep.
My favorite part of the program is how supportive and accepting everyone has been. I’m so thankful to be a part of such an incredible community. Go Cougs!
