Our final graduate on our #RoadtoGraduation is Delaney Maddix, who will return to her roots in Columbus, OH, after graduation. Delaney is excited to start her career in small animal medicine at a general practice and urgent care clinic. Her clinical year experiences solidified her passion for small animal care, and she’s eager to bring her skills home to the Midwest. Her advice to new students? "Make your bed every morning." It’s a small step that makes a big difference.

With a passion for small animal emergency medicine, cardiology, neurology, and heart surgery, Sammy is stepping into a bright future at Atascadero Pet Hospital this October. Eager to tackle the challenges of emergency medicine and make the most impact, she looks forward to growing under the mentorship of her new colleagues.
