“Showing up and showing up as my best self and saying, ‘Hey, you know this is what I can do and this is what I cannot.’ I want to inspire my team with that and I said ‘Hey what a better thing than to get off on the right foot with my career with this under my belt’ rather than ‘Oh, I’ll do it in five years’ when I’m feeling burned out.”Welcome to this episode of My Veterinary Life Podcast. Our guest today is Dr. Melissa Terry. Dr. Terry is a recent graduate and currently an associate veterinarian at a small animal practice. She shares with us the importance of advocating for yourself at all levels of your career, including veterinary school. We learn how she became interested in the VLI Trek experience and what she is already implementing in her personal and professional life. It’s an inspiring and fun conversation and we can’t wait to share this journey with you. Remember we want to hear from you!
