I am originally from Westford, MA but moved to NC in 2020. I graduated from NC&#160;State in December 2023 with a B.S. in Zoology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am pursuing a career in lab animal medicine and anatomic pathology. I was a transfer student, and when I began classes at NCSU, I was working in lab animal medicine outside of school. This position introduced me to the field and pushed me to return to school to finish my undergraduate degree and apply to veterinary school. As an undergraduate student I was heavily involved in the academic success center, both as a peer tutor and an SI leader. I\u2019ve always enjoyed teaching others, so I was glad to find a position where I could continue to improve my communication skills and work with students from different majors. Outside of tutoring, I volunteered at the small ruminant education unit. I had minimal experience with ruminants before coming to NC&#160;State, so this was a great experience to become more comfortable with different animals and learn from students who have different interests than me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honors\/ Awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Registered Veterinary Technician<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laboratory Animal Technician certification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Member of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dean\u2019s List<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Extracurriculars:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Member of Durham Community Concert Band<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small Ruminant Education Unit Volunteer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SI Leader and Peer Tutor- ASC NCSU<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Veterinary Experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Veterinary technician at a lab animal facility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Externship at a small animal emergency clinic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Externship at a small animal general practice clinic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Veterinary assistant at a small animal vaccine clinic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Animal Experiences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Volunteer at the small ruminant education unit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Animal husbandry technician at a lab animal facility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clinical Skills lab courses: small animal, large animal, rodent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Research Experiences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I did not participate in research before beginning veterinary school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Felix Oliver and I am in the class of 2028 at NCSU CVM.
