At PetTrio Charities, we believe inspiring the next generation starts with hands-on experiences and real-world mentorship.
It was an incredible honor to speak at the Junior Vets “Life of Pets” program, where students ages 8–18 explored veterinary medicine through interactive learning stations focused on suturing, bandaging, physical exams, and surgical prep. Students also had the opportunity to interact with horses and observe wildlife animals up close, creating an unforgettable learning experience.
I was proud to close the program by sharing my journey from veterinary technician to entrepreneur and the story behind creating Kliptrio. I encouraged students to see that veterinary medicine is not only about caring for animals—it’s also a field where innovation and entrepreneurship can create real solutions to everyday challenges in practice.
Thanks to Dr. Stephanie Jones of Pets Help The Heart Heal nonprofit who made this experience possible and for investing in the future of veterinary medicine. The next generation of veterinary professionals, leaders, and innovators is incredibly bright.
