After struggling with burnout, depression and anxiety, I have finally found my place. Teaching the future veterinary technicians of Ottawa has given me a new purpose and the support from my current team has helped me heal and find time for me again. Working toward a future where veterinary medicine is a healthy, happy field to be in, includes giving our people the supports and respect they deserve. This race has helped motivate me to improve my physical health as well as mental health. I run for NOMV's mission to create a thriving, healthy profession where I don't need to worry about losing one more vet professional.
