Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
This self-paced Introduction to Veterinary Science course provides a comprehensive overview of animal health and veterinary care, designed for learners aged 13-18. Students will explore topics such as animal anatomy, disease prevention, diagnostic techniques, nutrition, and animal behavior. We'll also discuss real-world veterinary scenarios, ethical considerations in animal care, and career pathways in the field of veterinary science.

The course is structured into weekly modules that students can complete at their own pace. Each module includes lessons, videos, quizzes, and written activities to enhance learning. Students will have access to detailed notes and resources for further exploration.

My teaching style emphasizes clarity, curiosity, and engagement. The course is designed to accommodate different learning preferences with a mix of instructional methods, including video lectures, fun trivia games, real-life case studies, and optional discussion boards for peer and instructor interaction. While this course is self-paced, learners are encouraged to ask questions and share their progress through the platform's messaging system, where I provide guidance and feedback.

By the end of the course, learners will have a solid foundation in veterinary science and a better understanding of what it takes to care for animals and pursue a career in veterinary medicine.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Biology/Biological Sciences from Western Governors University
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with a focus on Biological Sciences and am currently a student at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. I have over 10 years of experience working in general veterinary practice, where I cared for animals ranging from household pets to livestock. Additionally, I bring 10 years of hands-on experience in production agriculture, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal health and welfare across different settings.

My teaching background includes working with middle and high school students in biology and life sciences, where I cultivated engaging, interactive learning environments. My combined expertise in veterinary medicine, education, and agriculture allows me to provide a practical, real-world perspective to the subject matter. With a passion for both teaching and animal care, I’m dedicated to inspiring young learners to explore the fascinating world of veterinary science.
