In her hometown of Tallahassee, Florida, Elspeth always had a love for animalsBut Elspeth’s story doesn’t begin with animal welfare. In fact, she attended Williams College in Massachusetts pursuing a career as a lawyer, but after working for a law practice, she soon realized that pursuing a ‘life of arguing’ was not for her.
Elspeth had later returned to school at Cleveland State to finish two years of science courses, but now attends Ohio State as she works to finish her D.V.M. degree. Now, her ultimate goal is to gain experience from all the different facets of veterinary medicine through her externships and use that experience as a series of stepping stones to becoming a veterinarian. As far as her specific interests, she enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine which allow her to be hands on with patients.
“It’s a challenging profession that really keeps you on your toes and your always learning new things which is what I’m attracted to the most.”
Elspeth’s personal interests include traveling, the outdoors, yoga, and rock climbing. She says she’s making sure to visit Red Rock National Park before the end of her externship at Craig Road. Elspeth lived in Taiwan for a year but that didn’t stop her from caring about the welfare of other animals. On her way back to the states she brought ‘Betty’, a native Taiwanese dog she found wondering on the streets.
