About me
- I'm a fourth year international veterinary student at The Royal Veterinary College.
- I grew up in Northern California, but when I was nineteen my family moved to Colorado.
- I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1999 and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Colorado at Denver in 2004.
- I have a male hand-fed cockatiel named Sydney. Other then dogs, Sydney is the most amazing pet I have ever had! He has taught me that size doesn't mean anything. Although he's small, his personality makes up for it ten fold. When he wants to show off Sydney says, "Whatcha doing?", "Pretty Bird", "Pretty Boy". He also imitates all kinds of sounds! The most important thing about Syndney is he helps me to not take myself so seriously.
What I hope to get out of this project
I hope to gain experience editing a wiki. Also, as a vet student I realize that this will be a valuable resource for learning the cardiovascular system.
My best learning experience in the past
- Learning to horseback ride using an English saddle. I showed up with jeans, cowboy boots, and a big belt buckle! Some habits never die.
- Academically, I have learned the best from the use of color, pictures, pneumonics, flash cards, mindmaps and tables. Anything that breaks down large amounts of information into more tangible pieces is great.
Curriculum area that interests me
Small Animal Cardiology and Dermatology are two of my favorite modules.
I also enjoy learning about avian and exotic medicine.
Topics that are difficult
- Experience has taught me that even difficult information can be broken down so that it makes sense. I find topics that require huge amounts of memorization the most difficult.
Day one thoughts
The world is my oyster.
What (three things) Have I learned today?
- How to edit a wiki page.
- An overview of the WikiVet project this summer.
- How to drive to Nottingham Vet School the long way!!!
What I still need to learn
How I feel about what has happened today
Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)
Sections I've been working on
What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project
Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee
My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future
