I grew up in Bridgeport, West Virginia and attended NCSU for undergrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I graduated in the fall of 2017 with a major in Zoology and a minor in Biotechnology. I had originally intended to graduate <span class=\"aBn\" data-term=\"goog_998305521\"><span class=\"aQJ\">in 3 years<\/span><\/span> with just my major. However, I found the extra year to gain experience, as well as the extra classes I took for my minor, helped me tremendously in asserting my interests and improving my vet school application. In addition to gaining clinical veterinary and animal experience, I was able to participate in research projects at NIEHS, the Biotechnology Dept., the CVM, and the Poultry Science Dept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-Vet Club introduced me to other fields of veterinary medicine (large animal, public health, exotics, etc.) and leadership opportunities to help fellow my pre-vets. I was also a VetPAC Intern and an APVMA planning committee member when NCSU hosted in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of pre-vet life, I was involved in University Housing as an RA for two years, where I was able to learn more about diversity and inclusion. Though there is a common misconception that veterinary medicine is only about the animal, I find it very important to get along with people of a variety of backgrounds and beliefs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someday, I hope to ensure the welfare of research animals as a laboratory animal veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Veterinary Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shadowing small animal clinic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working as vet assistant at small animal\/exotic clinic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shadowing equine vet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU Turtle Rescue Team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Animal Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Working with Merlin\u2019s Kids to train a shelter dog to become a service dog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duke Lemur Center technician assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Animal Phylogeny\/Diversity lab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SPCA volunteer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arthropod Zoo volunteer at NC Museum of Natural Sciences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NC&#160;State Dairy Unit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Biotechnology Internship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insect Genome Manipulation lab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NIEHS Internship- Comparative Medicine Branch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU CVM Immunopharmacology Lab research assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU Dept. of Poultry Science research assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NC Museum of Natural Sciences citizen science volunteer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Degree<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Zoology with minor in Biotechnology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honors and Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Research poster presentations\/oral presentations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summa Cum Laude<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chancellor&#8217;s Leadership Scholarship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dean\u2019s List every semester<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phi Beta Kappa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NC&#160;State University Housing Brick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RA awards- local and NRHH<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>QPR Certification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>National Merit Finalist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High school salutatorian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High school Academic teams participation and awards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AP Scholar with Honor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>National Honor Society<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HS Scholarships<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Achievements\/Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Undergrad Research Panel Speaker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU VetPAC Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VetCAMP Counselor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU Commencement Marshal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scholars Program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Residence Hall Activities Council<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zoology Club officer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre-Vet Club officer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>APVMA Symposium planning committee member<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leadershape attendee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCVC attendee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resident Advisor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nursing home activities assistant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biography My name is Stephanie Thi and I am very excited to be a part of NCSU CVM\u2019s class of 2022!
