Matt
Matt recently moved from his hometown of Springfield, MO to Pullman. He plans on applying to WSU to pursue a bachelor's in Zoology with a minor in Animal Science. From there, his goals include veterinary school and becoming a vet! When Covid shutdowns began, Matt decided he would start looking for a field to build a career in. He applied for a CSR/reception position at a veterinary hospital in Springfield. He then transitioned to being a veterinary technician and that's when he truly found an undiscovered passion for the field. Matt then made it his goal to save up enough to move across the country to pursue this passion, and now he's here! Matt has two pets - a Staffordshire/Border Collie mix named “Honey” and a cat named “Moonshine”. Previous pets include a quaker parrot, a corn snake, a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, two goldfish, an emperor scorpion, and even a tarantula at one point. An aspect of veterinary medicine that Matt most enjoys is diagnostics - being presented with a problem and working closely with the doctors to come up with a solution. He also thoroughly enjoys meeting and building close relationships with clients and patients, seeing progress, and being there for them. He has an affinity for the scaly and the winged pets and plans on specializing in exotics care in school. In his spare time, Matt can be found hiking around Pullman with “Honey”, adding to his ever-growing vinyl collection, and spending time on his computer. Matt wants clients to know that he will always be there with a smile, a joke, a shoulder, or an ear. |
