Why do you volunteer for NOMV?

Having witnessed personally and professionally the impacts of mental health struggles, volunteering is taking action toward finding solutions while giving back to the profession and improving its future.

Why do you volunteer for NOMV?

I believe very strongly in removing the stigma around mental health issues in our field and decreasing the incidence of suicide in veterinary medicine.  I love peer support, and everyone sharing their stories to help others.

On March 29, 2021 the NOMV staff doubled to include two Floridians: Bri Golob and Rianna Gleeson.

Once I got into vet school though, I felt like I hit an emotional brick wall. My enthusiasm was replaced with imposter syndrome and anxiety over the lifestyle I was pursuing.
