Hi, I’m Allison!
I’m a DVM student from Ohio and completed my undergraduate studies at Arizona State University. I started the DVM program on the Pullman campus as a member of the class of 2027. This is my first year as an ambassador.
I’d love to talk to you about student working positions in the VTH (especially in the clinical pathology lab) and extracurricular opportunities like clubs, the summer research fellowship and Rural Area Veterinary Services (RAVS)!

The combination of didactic lectures and hands-on laboratory and club experiences has greatly improved my confidence in veterinary medicine, as I now have both the technical skills and the knowledge behind them to practice effectively. I’ve also had the incredible opportunities to work in the clinical pathology lab in the teaching hospital and on a project through the Student Summer Research Fellowship, which have given me great experience and solidified my interest in pursuing a clinical pathology specialization after graduation.
Try new things, because there’s so much to learn and experience in four years! Join a club, take an interesting elective, sit in on a cool surgery – you never know when you might find something unexpected that really sparks your interest!
My classmates represent such a diversity of backgrounds, interests, and experiences, yet we all work together to help each other learn and succeed in a collaborative environment. I’m very grateful to have met so many incredible people and I can’t wait to work with them out in the field as graduated DVMs!
