Ross Vet Celebrates Graduating Class of 2020

“I’m officially a DVM and I could not be more proud of myself. I cannot wait to continue learning and practicing every day of my career.”

“I am so proud of not only myself, but the amazing colleagues I am lucky enough to call fellow veterinarians. Class of 2020, the future is bright, and I am so excited for what’s to come.”

“My job, my mission, the reason I’ve been put onto this planet, is to save wildlife. Eight years later, and I can finally say, ‘Dr. Jess will see you now!’”

“10 years as a Vet Tech helped me appreciate the depth and breadth of the field. Countless hours after work spent in school prepared me to apply to vet schools. 3.5 years got me to this day. I am so excited to finally become Dr. Mariette Connelly, DVM.”

“WE MADE IT! These last years have molded us into the doctors we are going to be and there’s a reason they’ve coined the term #RossieResillience. We gained the knowledge and experience we needed to become phenomenal doctors. We gained a new family—our Rossie family. Today, and every day, I am proud to be a Rossie.”

“To my family, friends, and island family, I would like to say thank you for being there for me through this journey. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you all! Thank you to Ross for giving me the opportunity to achieve my dreams. Living in St. Kitts made me the person that I am today, and I will cherish the memories forever.”

“I have definitely suffered from imposter syndrome, never thinking I was smart enough to become a vet. I’m very grateful that Ross gave me an opportunity to prove all those doubts wrong.”
