Dr. Jablinski holds a Bachelor’s in animal science with a chemistry minor from Murray State University. She graduated with a DVM from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine before pursuing advanced training at Kansas State University, completing a residency in large animal internal medicine and a Master’s in veterinary biomedical sciences. Dr. Jablinski has served as an application reviewer and interviewer at Kansas State and Iowa State University’s vet schools.
Today, Dr. Jablinski is a board-certified veterinary internal medicine specialist with a background in large animal care and mixed animal practice. She brings years of experience spanning academia, clinical medicine, research, and mentorship. Her diverse career path and genuine passion for mentoring future veterinarians make her a uniquely equipped and highly supportive admissions coach.
Dr. Jablinski’s journey to vet school started when she was a young girl on the family ranch, learning to raise cattle and angora goats with her uncles. She started spending time in mixed practice veterinary clinics when she was 14 years old, and attended the Veterinary Enrichment Camp at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
Building on her passion for veterinary medicine, Dr. Jablinski attended Murray State University on a full-ride scholarship, where she was an NCAA athlete, honors student, student government senator, and campus ministry leader. As a veterinary student, she served as a class leader for student care. It was during her food animal rotating internship at Texas A&M that Dr. Jablinski discovered her unique gift for teaching and passion for working up challenging medicine cases, which started with a Zebu calf showing signs of internal bleeding.
At Kansas State University during her residency, Dr. Jablinski had the privilege of presenting her research on bull reproduction and infectious disease in front of several audiences in both poster and PowerPoint format. This research was also published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Upon graduation, Dr. Jablinski taught food animal medicine & surgery at Iowa State University. This included teaching and advising fourth-year veterinary students during their clinical year and third-year students in the food animal medicine course. These subjects included hepatic pathology, neurology, dermatology, and camelid medicine. She would often use gamification and other interactive methods to teach students difficult concepts or improve success on the NAVLE. She was part of a team that received a grant for 3D printed models to teach veterinary students in their second and third years. She was also an active member of the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association.
From there, Dr. Jablinski wanted to diversify her experience to be an advisor to veterinary students with varying goals, so she landed in private mixed practice in the southwest U.S. She works on various species, including horses, cattle, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas and pigs. She enjoys getting to know each student and their joys outside of the vet clinic.
Dr. Jablinski discovered during vet school that the best way for her to study and communicate ideas is through visualization and art. She enjoys incorporating this tactic into her advising role as she discovers more about students' personas. With her unique experiences in several avenues within the veterinary field, she loves supporting less-than-traditional routes to help students achieve their vision of the veterinarian they want to become, while paying attention to the important details in an application packet that make a candidate competitive. She values the importance of incorporating every passion into the life that students want to have as a veterinarian and beyond.
Dr. Jablinski's in-depth knowledge of the research surrounding traits of successful veterinary students reinforces the support she provides pre-veterinary students in their journey. Her Jablinski’s admissions committee experience at Iowa State and Kansas State has provided her insight into the importance of a robust applicant profile and having a true sense of individuality as an applicant. She is also passionate about presenting data around mindset and how that affects success in veterinary students, interns and residents, offering a pathway to success.
Dr. Jablinski’s varied roles in academic, advanced training, leadership, mentorship, research, and private practice make her a seasoned mentor in vet school admissions. Beyond the attention to detail in application technicalities, Dr. Jablinski’s counselling sessions are centered around visualizing the path forward, structured time management, positive and realistic encouragement, and highlighting the originality of the applicant.
