Dr. Emily Talkington, an international wildlife conservation veterinarian, a small animal relief veterinarian, and a passionate animal welfare advocate, is our guest this week. She shares how her experiences in international conservation work and earning a master's degree in animal law shaped her unique path at the intersection of veterinary medicine, wildlife, and public policy. Emily also reflects on the importance of living in alignment with your values, embracing unconventional career opportunities, and recognizing the powerful role veterinarians can play as advocates for animals and society.
