I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC. I&nbsp; graduated from NCSU as an undergraduate in 2021, with a B.S. in Animal Science and a concentration in Veterinary Bioscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am pursuing a career in Small and Exotic Animal Medicine as well as Marine Mammal Medicine. My love for small and exotic animal medicine started at my first job as a veterinary assistant in junior year of high school and continued throughout undergrad. I developed my skills and grew to enjoy surgery, client education, and developing long term patient relationships. I also gained a lot of incredibly&nbsp;valuable experience during an Introduction to Marine Mammal Course in Key Largo, Florida. This introduced me to physical exams and ultrasonography on a pod of 8 dolphins, which solidified my passion for exotics and piqued my intrigue as to working with marine mammals in the future. Another important experience from undergrad was being a research partner with Turtle Rescue Team at the NCSU CVM. My research partner was a fourth year in vet school, which allowed me to gain a lot of valuable hands-on experience in maintaining a research project. I also got to see CT scans of turtles and help with shell repairs, which emphasized my passion for Exotic Animal Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honors\/awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FFA American Degree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dean&#8217;s List<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CALS Study Abroad Scholarship Recipient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PackAbroad Baton Bearer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feature in Office of Global Education May 2020 Provost Office&#8217;s\u00a0Newsletter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NC&#160;State Prague Alumni Panel Speaker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oncura Partners Abdominal Ultrasound Training Certificate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extracurriculars:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>VetPAC Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Group Fitness Instructor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kappa Alpha Theta Scholarship Director<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sorority Recruitment Counselor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>APVMA Volunteer Co-Coordinator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Veterinary Experiences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Small Animal Veterinary Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Undergraduate Volunteer at Turtle Rescue Team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marine Mammal Veterinary Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canine College Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equine Veterinary Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ANS 206: Anatomy of Domestic Animals Lab Graduate Teaching Assistant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Animal Experiences<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>VetCAMP Counselor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Horse Leader at Helping Horse Therapeutic Riding Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pet sitting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research Experiences<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Undergraduate Research Partner at Turtle Rescue Team, published &#8211; &#8220;The Effects of Photobiomodulation Therapy on the Healing of Eastern Box Turtle (<i>Terrapene carolina<\/i>) Shells&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Undergraduate Research Assistant at Turtle Rescue Team, published &#8211; &#8220;Evaluation of Prognostic Indicators for Injured Turtles Presenting to a Wildlife Clinic&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Kaelyn Dausch and I am in the Class of 2028 at NCSU CVM!
