I have also collaborated with a veterinary student from the University of Nairobi to establish the groundwork for a veterinary student exchange program. Traveling to Kenya and making the connections for the exchange has allowed me to more tangibly understand what the exchange will require logistically and it has been very rewarding thus far. Additionally, I am partaking in several research projects - a literature review on infectious diseases in polar bears, a survey on One Health in veterinary schools, and a survey examining intake procedures at Colorado animal shelters.
