Dr. Jody Clarke

“Why did I become a veterinarian? Well, after a number of years in academia, I wanted to do something ‘real.’ Every 3-year-old knows exactly what an animal doctor is, why you should be one and easily understands the value of it.  I wanted to work in a job that was that easily understandable and that valuable."
