Hello! My name is Kelsey. I'm a second year veterinary student at the University of Illinois. My ultimate goal is to work as a shelter medicine veterinarian or as a high volume spay/neuter surgeon. I would LOVE to continue to take various trips in my future to help with overpopulation and education everywhere, be it national or international. I got my dog from the Bahamas doing a spay/neuter trip and he reminds me every day of the opportunities to help animals in need.

A little more about me: I have acquired a reputation throughout my school as being a crazy cat lady, which is only appropriate since I have a cat backpack and cat shoes that I wear on a daily basis. I am almost always fostering cats and/or kittens and am up to date on all the latest cat fashion. When I'm not getting in touch with my inner-cat woman, I enjoy being outside when the weather allows it. Unfortunately, in Illinois that's maybe 4 months of the year. I use the bad weather as an excuse to travel anywhere and everywhere. I've been to over 15 countries and I'll have been to 4 continents by the end of the summer.
