Meet Unity College Student Jessica

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

"I’m originally from New Jersey but have lived in Florida for over ten years. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Animal Science and Behavior to help me be more competitive for vet school applications. My main goal is to become a feline-only practitioner. My journey started after high school graduation: volunteering in a hospital kennel, and my skills as a veterinarian technician advanced by working at multiple animal hospitals. Two of the hospitals were feline-only clinics. I love feline medicine and wrangling crazy cats. At one of the clinics, I was called the cat wrangler. I currently work at a cat-only hospital in Florida. I have been a Veterinary technician since 2007.

I chose Unity because of their “Experiential and Immersive Coursework,” flexible schedule, accelerated classes, and admissions selections. I, unfortunately, was diagnosed late in life with ADD, and it explains my struggles and mediocre grades in undergrad. This made getting into any graduate program seem impossible. I had significant accomplishments and recommendations but was still denied admission. Unity College gave me a chance, and their fantastic teachers have helped me succeed. In every class I have taken, I have gotten A’s. Their online platform is very user-friendly, and the class structure is excellent. I loved the class structure because it was not about memorizing a bunch of jargon and then forgetting it after taking the test. You take what you learned and apply it to real-life situations. In consequence, now what you learned was encoded into your brain. The teachers always gave great feedback and helped me succeed in the class. I highly recommend Unity College for grad school."
