Hi, I’m Devin!
I’m a DVM student from California and completed my undergraduate studies at Santa Cruz. I started the DVM program on the Pullman campus as a member of the class of 2029. This is my first year as an ambassador.
I’d love to talk to you about exotic opportunities at WSU (including the wildlife triage team and ZEW club)!

WSU faculty are incredibly supportive, passionate, and invested in our success—not just academically, but also personally and professionally. They challenge us to grow while remaining approachable and are always willing to help, creating an environment where we feel seen and heard, no matter where we are in life.
My best advice for incoming students is to give yourself grace—vet school is much more challenging than undergrad, and you don’t have to be perfect to succeed. Lean on your classmates/friends, ALWAYS ask for help when you need it, and remember to take care of yourself along the way.
One aspect of my first year that was different from what I expected is how quickly our class became like a family. I thought moving to a new town might feel isolating and boring, but instead, I found a supportive community of classmates who are always encouraging each other to have fun outside of class!
