Haley C.

Haley's passion led her to graduate magna cum laude from Lasell University with a dual degree in biological science and chemistry. During her time at Lasell, she was the President of Philanthropy in the Student Alumni Association, which allowed her to use her voice to aid underrepresented communities in the Greater Boston Area.

Haley's commitment to veterinary medicine was evident in her work as a veterinary technician at Orange Veterinary Hospital in Connecticut. She became a valued team member and was eventually appointed student ambassador for United Veterinary Care. Her experience at OVH deepened her passion for veterinary medicine and instilled a love for mentorship.

After graduating from Lasell, Haley took a year off to polish her resume before applying to veterinary school. She adopted new skills as a technician, including anesthesiology and diagnostic protocols, and gained equine experience by volunteering at a horse rescue and rehabilitation center.

Haley was accepted to multiple vet schools, but ultimately decided to attend Long Island University. She developed a profound interest in Feline Infectious Peritonitis, a deadly viral coronavirus in cats. She works in a laboratory setting with LIU's virologist to develop genome maps and a diagnostic protocol.

Haley’s passion for working with animals began at a young age, and she spent much of her childhood documenting local animals in her trusty field notebook or watching her hero, Steve Irwin. Haley's love for writing and her adoration for people's distinctive stories make her an ideal guide for students looking to develop a strong personal statement. Her years of experience in detail planning have also honed her skills in helping students navigate the complexities of the veterinary school application process.

Haley is committed to helping the next generation of veterinarians achieve their goals and find fulfillment in both their educational journey and professional careers. She understands that growth in the veterinary profession often begins with new ideas and diverse experiences, cultivating her desire to help lead the next generation of applicants to success in a field she cares deeply for.
