Meet Sofia, one of our youngest community members! 💜 Opening our virtual community to individuals ages 13 to 17 has made a real difference for people like Sofia. As a young Mexican aspiring vet, she found it challenging to connect in an industry with few Hispanic veterinarians, especially in the South. But through Pawsibilities Vet Med, Sofia discovered a diverse, welcoming space where she realized she’s not alone. Read Sofia’s story and learn how the resources, connections, and opportunities she found here are shaping her journey in veterinary medicine! 💜🐾🩺 #DiversityAndInclusion #VetMed #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity #DEI #Mentorship #Youth #NonProfit #Mentoring #Mentor #Veterinarians #VetTech #Vet #VetLife #Veterinary #VetStudent #PreVet #StudentLife #VetMedWorld #VetTechStudent #Community #RepresentationMatters #POC #MentalHealth #Indigenous #WOC #Racism #Pride
