R2Kast 201 - Leah Griffiths on veterinary nursing before getting into farming and starting a vet degree!

 Vet nursing, vet medicine and working 13 hours a day round uni!

I speak to a lot of people, some people shine for their ability to overcome challenges, some a job I’ve never heard of or heard much about and some just inspire you for so many reasons! That last one is the story of today’s guest, Leah Griffiths! 

Leah, like many other teens wanted to be a vet and didn’t quite get what was required and pursued vet nursing which she enjoyed but realise large animal was her passion, she then got a job calf rearing while vet nursing and started to think “I’m going to go for vet medicine”.  She applied without telling anyone and is now a couple of exams away from finishing first year!

You hear so many people who want to be a vet that don’t make it and the dream stays a dream! Leah is one of the few who did the work to make it a soon to be reality!  One of the nicest ‘where do you see yourself in 5 years’ we’ve had!

We speak about that challenge of missing potentially good vets due to grades too!

Great episode with an inspiring young lady! 

Enjoy!
