I got to perform my first canine neuter today and it was amazing! But better than that I got to share the OR with these AMAZING women today on #internationalwomensday What better way to celebrate but with an OR filled with nothing but women surgeons!? #rossvetmed #becomingdrward (at St. Kitts British West Indies Caribbean Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxH0RsFU3dlLwQfe2mtRwHr5AgVDytFynAE6Y0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nlf1vimek5at

It’s official I’m heading west to Oklahoma in May to complete my final year of veterinary school!!! I am so excited for this next chapter, and so excited I got to celebrate last night with my island family! These are the people who became friends and then have become family. #jessheadswest #roadtoaDVM #becomingDrWard (at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGS-cqFDKTzkiraqcMkYAnCPI6l1Hrlcs3DmU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=80kreryeu0gm

Another semester down, and boy was it a doozie. 6th was by far the toughest, most challenging semester yet. But I made it, and I only have 4 MORE MONTHS ON ISLAND. I definitely wouldn’t have made it this far without my amazing supportive family! But also, my island friends who have become family. No one could understand the stress, pressure, and insanity of vet school like someone else going through it. I am lucky to have found these amazing people that always support me and also help remind me to have some fun every now and then! I had to say goodbye to some friends this semester who are off to the next chapter tackling clinics, and our little island won’t be the same without them. But for now I will enjoy beyond home with my family celebrating Christmas, and reconnecting with friends that I don’t get to see very often. I am truly blessed. I could never have imagined my life would look like this, but God has truly blessed me. #roadtoadvm #becomingdrward #illbehomeforchristmas #backinbama (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brfnq_HlKHi6BuwE7wkypzejk6hNigYg3SWtYI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vhoc2gi91azn

6th Semester is coming to a close rapidly, maybe faster than we’d like. But this afternoon, we got to forget about our impending finals for a couple hours, and had a blast in Surgery Bone Lab. #vetpreppersforlife #startedtogether #wellfinishtogether #becomingDrWard #roadtoaDVM (at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0T4ZGlCDkEUzZ2IseIGVnxv873RtJIZHVZ_A0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iazeq2dws96m
