Meet Unity College Student Destiny

091e

Destiny recently took the Emotional Support and Service Animals course at Unity College with Professor Charis Nick-Torok.

"Before starting Unity, I was changing careers and planning a military move. I started the beginning of my last semester living in Hawaii and during my final two weeks, I moved from Hawaii to Maine to forward my military and civilian career. I chose Unity because it works with my busy schedule. I work full-time so finding a program that can help to further my education but also accommodate my work schedule was important. Unity checked all the boxes for me!

I am currently working towards my Master's in Animal Science and Behavior. I hope to be able to further my career with this goal and establish a behavior rehabilitation program for shelter animals who would otherwise not be given a second chance.

In the Emotional Support and Service Animals: Rules and Regulations course, I was able to learn all about the legislation guiding our interactions with animals in public and private locations. My favorite part of this class had to be learning about something that is relevant to us today. The use of service and emotional support animals has become of increasing importance and understanding the rules and regulations that are or are not(in most cases) in place is vital to continue utilizing these animals and supporting their welfare. I hope to utilize my degree from Unity to be a researcher focusing on the improvement of animal and human welfare."
