“I never really considered vet medicine because I never thought I could get in, because I knew how difficult vet school was. And then after doing some hard thinking, I think I decided that if I really wanted to do it, I can do it and I was very fortunate that Otterbein has an equine program geared toward, to get students into veterinary school. So, I had no equine experience prior, but I met with my advisor, and she said if I really want to do it, I can do it! So I jumped right in and got to learn about horses and that got me through within three years and now I’m at Ohio State!”

Our guest today is Jordan Riha. Jordan is a second-year veterinary student at The Ohio State University. While she may have decided she wanted to become a veterinarian a little later in life, that has not slowed her down at all. She has taken advantage of every opportunity that has been put in front her and done it all with a positive attitude. We are so excited to watch the rest of her career unfold and can’t wait to share her journey with you.
