Come join me as I explore the lessons learned during my transition from veterinarian to entrepreneur, and how these worlds, seemingly separate, can intersect to drive innovation and transformation. As veterinarians, we are trained to focus on patient care, but in stepping into the world of entrepreneurship, I discovered that the skills and mindset honed in veterinary practice—problem-solving, empathy, and a drive for continuous improvement—are also the foundations of building and growing successful businesses. 

Throughout my journey, I faced challenges that pushed me to think differently, embrace risk, and learn from failure. I’ll discuss how leveraging these lessons in entrepreneurship not only opened doors to new opportunities but also allowed me to create solutions that benefit the broader veterinary community. Whether it’s improving service delivery, streamlining operations, or creating more efficient ways to connect professionals, I’ve learned how powerful it can be to apply clinical insights to business ventures.

Ultimately, this talk will focus on the synergies between veterinary practice and entrepreneurship, showing how both worlds can enrich one another. For those considering stepping into business, I’ll share practical takeaways on how to blend passion with innovation to create meaningful change in the veterinary field and beyond
