When I need to unwind, I grab a book and disappear into it completely. I can read until 3 a.m. and then spend the whole next day still thinking about it and retelling the plot to anyone who didn’t run away fast enough. Books let me live a hundred different lives without even getting out of bed.

Studying isn’t always fun: Latin, anatomy, sleepless nights before exams and gallons of coffee. But every time I learn something new, I know I’ve chosen the right path. I love that this job takes a big heart, a sharp mind and nerves of steel. So I’m slowly leveling up all three :)

Place of Power

Hi! I’m Alice, I’m 18, and I’m studying to become a vet. Yep, I’m the one who stops to pet every cat on the street and knows every dog in the neighborhood by name. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I really want to be the person who helps them when they’re truly in trouble.

I’m only at the beginning of my journey and still learning a lot, but I know one thing for sure: I want to live a bright, kind and meaningful life. Climb higher, read more, wander further and help every animal that needs me. If you love animals, books or adventures too, we’ll definitely have plenty to talk about!
