“I had to choose and make that, change that trauma and that sadness that was so deep and make it into something that gave me motivation to go into veterinary medicine and be somebody who can bring people together and who can bring out the empathy in those moments.”

Our guest today is Hidayah Martinez-Jaka. Hidayah is completing her fourth you of veterinary school. This would already be a full plate, but she also is the current SAVMA President AND was part of the incredible Keynote Experience at the 2022 Veterinary Leadership Conference. She joins us to build on her story of finding the light in veterinary medicine. It’s a great conversation and we can’t wait to share this journey with you.
