My name is Elesa L. McDonald. I am majoring in biology focused towards pre-veterinary area and am a freshman. As the reporter I am to oversee social media accounts such as Instagram as well as newspaper articles. I will be responsible for taking pictures of our activities and spreading the word of what the Pre-Veterinary club is all about. You might even see promotional papers hanging around the building bulletins.

I grew up on a farm with a great deal of animals and agricultural work. I spent my summers participating in 4-H and my school’s supervised agricultural experience. I worked with animals ranging from horses to goats to dogs to cats to exotics like bearded dragons and many others. Additionally, with the beauty of the countryside where I’m from I also loved to capture all the beautiful animals and flowers and rustic scenery with my camera.

After I graduate from ISU I plan on attending, hopefully, the University of Illinois where I will focus on areas of large animal, equine, companion animal, and exotic animals.

Fun Fact 1: I’ve never had the desire to be anything other than a veterinarian. I chose this profession in kindergarten and have never lost my footing in the uphill battle to become a veterinarian.

Fun Fact 2: I love writing but more specifically writing poetry.
