Andi Rosado, Class of 2014
I grew up (for the most part) in Albuquerque, NM. I'm planning on sticking with a small animal track but
still keeping my options open. I'm considering sticking it out for board certification of some sort after
graduation, but I have the attention span of a gnat so we'll see how that goes. Otherwise, I guess I have
to dive into the clinical world to pay off the ridiculously large debt I will have incurred by that point.
(Seriously, I'm gonna have to live like a student forever!) I was born in Japan and got my U.S. citizenship
my senior year in high school.
Taylor Zumbusch, Class of 2014
I grew up in the lovely barrenly beautiful desert of Tucson, Arizona. I decided to try out the tundra for a big in the good
ol’ northern state of Minnesota, before craving my mountains once more and returning closer to home for vet school. As it
stands right now, I’m open to inspiration and could see myself working in a wide variety of fields so we’ll see where
the wind takes me. Up until vet school, my research and academic career was centered on ants so I’ll work up from there
size-wise at least.

Caitlyn Romero, Class of 2015
I was born and raised in Tucumcari, New Mexico. My mother was a vet before me so I’ve been stuck on this profession as far back
as I can remember. I attended Kansas State University for my Bachelor’s degree before heading to CSU for vet school. I’m hoping to focus on
large animals, especially equine, in my career. However, I love just about everything and enjoy studying behavior in all kinds of animals.
I plan on returning to New Mexico after school for a few years and then we’ll see if I still want to work towards board certification or a PhD.
I have one dog, Zia (a mini-Aussie) and several family dogs and horses that teach me something new every day.
