Hi, I’m Bianca!
I’m a DVM student from California and completed my undergraduate studies at Radford University. I started the DVM program on the Washington campus as a member of the class of 2028. This is my second year as an ambassador.
I’d love to talk to you about my experience as a nonresident student and my interest in surgery.

There is a strong sense of community in Pullman, and there’s plenty to do, such as hiking and exploring great food spots. I also appreciate the small-town atmosphere, as it makes me feel safe, helps me focus on school, and allows for fewer distractions.
The DVM program is preparing me for my future career in many meaningful ways. Each day, I continue to strengthen my communication skills, which are essential in veterinary medicine. I also have ongoing opportunities to develop my surgical abilities through the clinical skills lab and our Principles of Surgery course. This hands-on experience is especially important to me, as I aspire to become a surgeon.
My favorite part of the program is the strong sense of community and the fact that we are a non-tracking program. This provides ample opportunities to explore different areas, discover what you gravitate toward, and decide the path you want to take.
