Peyton Carlson '27 is working up close and personal with a variety of iconic African wildlife and production animals in two different veterinary clinics in South Africa through her internship with the African Conservation Experience.
Hometown: Manchester, IA
Major(s): Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
I am a first-year student at Cornell this year studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I have been a Veterinary Assistant for the last three years and recently decided to apply to vet school. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and movies, listening to music, and going to concerts.
As an intern with African Conservation Experience, I hope to learn about the variety of wildlife that are not common in this area, as well as about their health and survival needs. With this newly acquired knowledge, I hope to better understand which veterinary specialty interests me and apply the new information to further my career in veterinary medicine.
