Recipient: Allison Wessels (VM2) – Belmond, Iowa

My passion for vet med came when I was in high school and got to job shadow at my hometown clinic. I then went to Iowa State where I went on a trip with Veterinarians Without Borders to Costa Rica, and my passion soared. I have fallen in love with radiology and clinical imaging with an interest in emergency medicine.
