Passionate About:


I have some super exciting news to share with everyone! I have joined a group at Tarleton State University for the Volunteers Around the World Outreach Program, and this summer we are traveling to Peru! This particular outreach focuses on volunteering your time to help those who are not as fortunate and has a focus on veterinary medicine. As you all know I am currently a pre-veterinary animal science major and absolutely love any chance for a new experience within the field. While we are in Peru I will get the chance to serve with veterinarians spaying/neutering animals at a shelter, at a mobile clinic, a sanctuary, and even give back to the community by educating kids on the importance of veterinary care. This experience could set me apart from others when applying to veterinary school, help me to increase my knowledge in the field, and offer an exceptional opportunity to help others.

Join the Tarleton State University chapter as they lead a Veterinary Outreach trip to Peru this upcoming Summer! Volunteers will work in mobile clinics, where they will have the opportunity to take patient history, basic vital signs, shadow veterinarians, learn about the importance of different animals in locals lives and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Tarleton State University will be opening up mobile veterinary clinics for local communities as well as assisting at local animal care facilities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of February 4-8.
