A Message From Gemma
​
“Getting into wildlife veterinary medicine was never easy for me. Like many people trying to enter this field, I had to fight hard for opportunities and make sacrifices that many of my peers did not have to make.
​
I gave up a lot of normal parts of life while trying to build experience — spending money on courses, volunteer placements, travel and opportunities that I hoped would eventually open doors into the wildlife industry. ​Through persistence, volunteer experiences, wildlife courses and simply refusing to give up, I eventually found my way into conservation and wildlife medicine. But I know firsthand how financially difficult and competitive this path can be.
​​​
If this helps even one person access an experience they otherwise could not afford, and forge a way into the wildlife industry, I have achieved the goal.”
