Jenna Gettings
North Carolina State University

 

Background:I was born and raised in Rives Junction, Michigan and was involved in 4-H and a variety of horse competitions.  I attended Michigan State University and completed a Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology.  Afterwards I worked as a research laboratory technician for a year.  I have recently moved to North Carolina to attend North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  I have just completed my first year of veterinary school.

Interests:I love to work outdoors, and in my free time I am learning how to play the guitar.  I also enjoy horseback riding and reading.

Career Goals:My interests within the veterinary field include public health, small and large animal medicine, and research.  After completing veterinary school, I plan to practice in a large animal or mixed animal clinic for a few years, and then I may return to school for a Master’s in Public Health and pursue a career in that field.  My interests lie in emerging and infectious diseases and zoonotic diseases.
