Today we are highlighting Sharon Meoli, who is a fourth year DVM student. A faculty member nominated Sharon stating, “Sharon is a non-traditional, second career student. She is married with children; two of whom were delivered in the midst of her DVM coursework. Despite (or perhaps because of) her life experiences, she remains quietly attuned to the needs of others and on many occasions has provided compassion, support and encouragement to those who struggle. I wish we could put one of her in every veterinary practice!”

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today? It’s easy to make a Paws Up submission – just follow this link. Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for length. Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college. For more information, visit the PVM Wellness Committee website.
