Hi, I’m Devin!
I’m a DVM student from California and completed my undergraduate studies at University of California Santa Cruz. I started the DVM program on the Pullman campus as a member of the class of 2029. This is my second year as an ambassador.
I’d love to talk to you about vet school survival tips like creative ways to save money and meal prepping!

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.
I choose to attend WSU because after touring here I felt like family. This really carried into my first year when I worked alongside friends, professors, and staff.
