Nia shares about her journey to veterinary medicine, her experience with racism, and how a quarter-life crisis can lead to good things. With a commitment to encouraging others, Nia shares the one area she wishes she focused on more prior to entering veterinary school, and how her role as a veterinary technician provided helpful experience.
