Olivia Julien

 

Olivia, please tell us about your current plans after high school. What inspired you to choose this path?

I am attending Gustavus Adolphus College to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology while on the pre-veterinary track. After doing my undergraduate work I would like to attend veterinary school and work in a mixed-animal practice. I was inspired to become a veterinarian because I want to combine my passion for animals and medicine.

I live with my mom and my dad and my younger brother Charlie and my two dogs Huckleberry and Puddin.
