JTDFA Awards Scholarship
AllieGray Anderson of UT Martin has been awarded the first JTDFA Vet Tech scholarship. AllieGray says:
I am currently a senior at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where I am enrolled in the veterinary technician program. With a passion for animal care and a commitment to excellence, I have dedicated the past two years to working at Reelfoot Animal Hospital as a veterinary assistant. This experience has been invaluable, allowing me to develop a wide range of skills and deepening my love for the veterinary
field and the animals we serve.
Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I am deeply connected to my family and friends, who provide unwavering support and joy in my life. I treasure the moments spent with them, whether it's a casual get-together or a special celebration.
Looking ahead, I am eager to continue my journey in veterinary medicine, with aspirations to further my education and eventually specialize in a particular area of veterinary care. I am committed to making a positive impact in the field and contributing to the well-being of animals and their owners.
