Hi, I’m Mikayla!
I’m a DVM student from Montana and completed my undergraduate studies here at Washington State University. I started the DVM program on the Montana 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 hands on opportunities and things to do around Pullman!

My advice for incoming students is to try new things! There are so many different areas of vet med, so check out some of the clubs and opportunities that WSU has to offer, you never know what you will end up loving.
My favorite part of the program is how supportive the whole community is. The faculty and staff are wonderful and are always finding ways to keep us going. My classmates are also really great and are always helping each other out.
The DVM program at WSU helps us work through cases like real doctors from the very beginning. For example, the Diagnostic Challenge in second year is a time where we work through a whole case and are able to apply everything we learn in a low stakes environment.
