November 2024 ABI Student of the Month: Stella Winn

Hi! My name is Stella Winn and I’m an ABI major in my third year. I’m also pursuing a Nematology minor. I’ve been obsessed with animals for pretty much my entire life. I currently have two cats, a leopard gecko, and a couple fish. I’ve always wanted to go to vet school ever since my mom gave me a book of all the dog breeds for my kindergarten graduation.

I honestly chose the ABI major on accident having no clue what the difference was between animal science. It actually ended up being one of the best decisions! The ABI major and its focus on animal research has been invaluable to me. While it’s still my dream to go to vet school and work with small animals in a clinic, I now have a whole new perspective on my academic/professional career and all of the opportunities that come with animal research.
