  • My Summer as an Undergraduate Research Assistant

    My name is Brianna Chan, and I am an undergraduate student entering my third year in Animal Biology at the University of Guelph, hoping to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to work as a research assistant under Dr. Ashley Spencer’s mentorship. Additionally, I was fortunate to shadow and assist the Clinical Nutrition team at the OVC Health Sciences Centre Companion Animal Hospital. Initially, I planned to visit the team to learn more about the nutrition service at the hospital. However, once I discovered the wealth of opportunities available, I was eager to stay and was warmly adopted by the team. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Abood, the nutrition team, and my advisor, Dr. Spencer, I was able to experience a summer enriched with valuable knowledge about pet nutrition and veterinary medicine.
