#036 - Like so many veterinary professionals, Dr Andrea Harvey knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age. What is perhaps more unique, is how her "why" has been unwavering since she nursed her pony back from a near-catastrophic injury; and it is this strong sense of purpose that has given her the courage to embrace a number of different opportunities.

Andrea has had quite the diverse career, and over the past 20 years has had a number of impressive achievements and made some significant contributions to our profession, predominantly in the field of feline medicine and animal welfare science. There is no question that her openness to new experiences, willingness to step outside of her comfort zone, and an admirable work ethic are traits that have contributed to her success.

During the episode, Andrea reminds us of the importance of surrounding ourselves with the right people, who will encourage and support us in fulfilling our potential. She also shares her wisdom on finding veterinary happiness through making aligned decisions, remaining open to opportunities, and giving back to the profession. Andrea's commitment to helping others reach their goals is evident as she recounts her own experiences with mentorship, and the joy she finds in supporting the next generation of veterinarians. If you are needing some encouragement to say "yes" to an opportunity that is front of you right now, this episode is for you!
