Energizer bunny! Surgeon! Beekeeper!

Lindy and I met when we were in the same vet school class. She’s one of those friends that I may not talk to for YEARS, but can call *in surgery* and she will talk me through.

Lindy is the real deal.

When I first met her, I was in awe of her CONFIDENCE. (I need to talk to her and her mom about how they cultivated and encouraged the growth of confidence in a “southern lady” without the often-paired annoying side effect of only talking about oneself. ) I digress.

I really encourage all of my readers to listen or watch this episode. She may give you an idea, a pat on the back, or open your eyes to all that’s out there in Vet Med.

A few takeaways:

* Arkansas is getting TWO vet schools?!?!

* Use your in-school externships to get a feel for different types of jobs for after graduation.

* Working at a few different clinics after graduating is NOT a bad thing.

* Design the life you want for yourself.

* Be a go getter. Don’t be afraid to tell people what you want. Make a plan to get it. Stick to that plan.

And for some of the best Insta content out there…

follow @theycallmedrlindy ! and her BEE CONTENT!! @bd.bees !!

Some other awesome things about Lindy:

She’s not afraid to use her voice. And she wants you to too! Lindy is an AVMA Delegate for the state of Arkansas as well as a National Delegate!

She takes time out of her BUSY schedule to volunteer for these positions, and what they do makes a difference in the daily lives of both pet owners and vets. Pretty incredible.

Some of Dr. Lindy’s FAVE THINGS:

* I LOVE my Aura strap for my Apple Watch. It tracks all my fitness deets, and I’m a sucker for stars. 

* My fave scrubs: FIGS! I love the colors that are a bit unexpected.

* Stethoscope: the Littman Classic III, it’s an oldie but goodie. The sound is perfect and not too heavy on my neck. Comes in lots of fun colors, too! 

* Clothes: I love Anthropologie! But my fave athleisure is Lululemon.

THANK YOU DR. LINDY!! YOU ROCK!!!
