My name is Emma Hailey, and I am a member of the NCSU CVM Class of 2029. I was born and raised in Matthews, NC. I graduated from NCSU as an undergraduate in May 2025 with a Bachelor\u2019s in Animal Science and a minor in Nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I plan to pursue a career in small animal medicine, with interests in surgery and emergency medicine. While at NC&#160;State, I served as both a VetPAC intern and ANS 281 TA and discovered how much I enjoy mentoring students and supporting their academic and career goals. Most of my clinical hours were spent in a small animal private practice, where I was fortunate to learn from<br>passionate mentors who were dedicated to teaching and encouraging me to approach cases with a clinical mindset. NC&#160;State also introduced me to equine medicine, which diversified my clinical exposure and provided hands-on experience with species I had never worked with before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NC&#160;State offered me invaluable opportunities to gain confidence working across a variety of species, participate in clinical pathology research, and serve as a mentor to students who share my passion for veterinary medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honors\/Awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CALS Honors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dean\u2019s List<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summa Cum Laude<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre-Veterinary Medical Association Outstanding Member Award<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student of the Year Leukemia and Lymphoma Society<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VetPAC First Year Orientation Speaker<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extracurricular Activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NCSU Pre-Veterinary Medical Association Active Member<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU Pre-Veterinary Medical Association Executive Board Member<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VetPAC Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VetCAMP Counselor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ANS 281 Teaching Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU Zeta Tau Alpha, Sorority Chapter Member, Philanthropy Chair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), Student of the Year Candidate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dolce Lusso Salon and Spa, Senior Guest Representative<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Veterinary Experience: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Veterinary Assistant at Long Animal Hospital and Emergency Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summit Equine Hospital Undergraduate Intern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Powered Research Lab Animal Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Costa Rica Wildlife Conservation Study Abroad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Veterinary Assistant at NC&#160;State College of Veterinary Medicine Large Animal Hospital Ambulatory On-Call Service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Animal Experience: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Summit Equine Hospital Barn Attendant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dairy Calf Feeding Volunteer at NC&#160;State Dairy Education Unit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peak Lab Rescue Foster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NCSU Dairy Cattle Management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research Experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clinical Pathology Undergraduate Research Assistant in Mochizuki Lab at NC&#160;State CVM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NC&#160;State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, APVMA Myths and Fallacies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NC&#160;State CALS Honors, Swine Research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Certifications\/Licenses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>American Red Cross CPR Certification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OSHA Certification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NC&#160;State College of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Radiation Safety Certificate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
