About Izzy

Hi everyone! My name is Izzy Pulido and I graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2023 with my B.S. in Animal Science and a minor in Spanish. I am currently attending UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and plan on focusing on small animal medicine. I can't remember a time when being a veterinarian wasn't my dream career and I am so excited to be embarking on this next chapter!

 

In my free time, I enjoy being out in nature hiking with my Aussie, Churro, and competing in triathlons! I swam competitively in high school and transitioned to triathlon towards the end of high school and into college. I recently competed in my first half-Ironman and absolutely loved the challenge! I also enjoy coaching and taught swim lessons throughout high school and was the head coach for Cal Poly masters swim team. 

​

Some other hobbies include bringing abandoned animals into my household and hoping that things work out. Our latest addition is Raven, a black domestic short-hair that was hit by a car and brought in by a good samaritan. The clinic that I work for sponsored her surgery and then I took her home for recovery and my parents adopted her.

 

I am creating this website to document my journey through vet school. I will also be continuously posing resources to help students that are in or thinking about going into this profession. I will also be sharing tips on the application process! Come join along for the ride!
