Staci Brigham Student | College of Veterinary Medicine
Anything is possible
Is there anything Staci Brigham can’t do? According to her mentor, Wendy Baltzer, the answer is “no.” A wife, mother of two and a fourth-year veterinary student, Brigham hopes to send a powerful message to her children — anything is possible.
“You can be a mom, you can be a wife, you can be a professional,” Brigham says. “You don’t have to, but you can.”
Similar learning styles encouraged the connection between Baltzer and Brigham. “We have the same curiosity,” Baltzer says. “We want to be able to follow a case all the way through and solve the mystery. That’s how we function.”
Baltzer has supported Brigham on the road to board certification in small animal internal medicine, reminding her that the hard work will eventually pay off.
“People told me that I would fail out, but I’m at the top of my class,” Brigham says. “Dr. Baltzer was one of the only people who believed in me.”
