Hello there!
My name is Abbey, I’m a 1st Year Vet Med student in the Graduate Entry programme at the University of Edinburgh. Before this degree, I completed my BSc in Veterinary Biosciences and an MRes of Parasite Control at Aberystwyth University.
Outside the classroom, I am very active, acting as captain of the vet school’s badminton team that competes monthly in the local league with weekly training. I also am one of the student ambassadors under the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, so am very familiar with the runnings of the school.
I have been involved in several extracurricular activities since secondary school, ranging from Model United Nations, organising blood drives, to being the managing editor of the school newspaper just to name a few! This carried into my university years in my first degree, restarting the Animal & Veterinary Society and holding roles such as President, Vice-President and Secretary, and being a part of a 10-year consecutive winning dance team as well.
My teaching style
My teaching style involves understanding what your weaknesses are and working together to understand the root of the problem and how we can tackle it together. Depending on your learning style, I would adapt my teaching style- but mainly my style would involve explaining concepts in a way of how and why it would be necessary in the real world and what skills we would get out of learning specific topics or subjects.
My past experience
I have successfully assisted students in excelling during their interviews and securing offers from their desired universities. My guidance focused on interview preparation strategies, helping them showcase their strengths, and conveying their passion effectively.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement is definitely going into vet school, as it had been a dream of mine’s since I was 14 overcoming so many personal academic hurdles and getting into veterinary medicine really proved to myself my tenacity and drive to follow through with a plan.
