My name is Anusha Chandra and I am honored to be a member of the NCSU CVM class of 2027. I am from Charlotte, North Carolina and I graduated with a B.S in Animal Science with minors in Nutrition and English from NC&#160;State University in December 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, I have my eye on small animal GP as my future career, but would love to dive deeper into and learn more about emergency\/critical care work. I am also extremely passionate about One Health, and in the future I wish to stay and work in parts of India to develop a better trap-neuter-return system for the stray animal population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am so grateful that NC&#160;State had so many experiences that I could choose from that all guided me towards vet school. My junior and senior year, I got hired as a research assistant for the Kim Lab of Monogastric Nutrition and Digestive Physiology. I was able to conduct independent research and learned so much about animal nutrition, which was great because it was one of my minors! In addition, I was a VetPAC intern my junior year which truly allowed me to build on my leadership skills\u2013 I planned out the annual networking event and was able to make many connections within the veterinary industry. I also participated in the South Africa study abroad and got to experience vet med in another country, while making friends that I am currently in vet school with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honors\/Awards:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NCSU Dean\u2019s List<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Magna Cum Laude<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CALS Honors Program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>University Honors Program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Africana Study Abroad Scholarship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wells Fargo Employees\u2019 Dependent Scholarship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extracurricular Activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>VetPAC Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>College Democrats of NC: State Council Secretary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>College Democrats at NC&#160;State: Vice President<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>K-12 Tutor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summer Nanny\/Babysitter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU Film Club<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Veterinary Experiences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sarvoham\u00a0Animal Foundation (Bangalore, India): Shelter Veterinary Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maynard Animal Hospital: Urgent Care Veterinary Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summit Equine Hospital: Student Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Africa Study Abroad: Wildlife Veterinary Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VetPAC Shelter Medicine Internship at Wake County Animal Shelter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Animal Experiences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Full Circle Farm Sanctuary: Animal Care Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mt.
