Meredith Lawler was an ambitious 17-year-old high school student who was interested in learning all she could about medicine. She started her journey at Valley Veterinary Hospital as a kennel worker and worked her way up to scheduling appointments and working directly with the patients. Throughout her high school and undergraduate career, Meredith faithfully returned every summer to work at Valley Veterinary. The staff, who have truly become both her friends and now VVH family, would joke around because ‘I always come back.’
Meredith enjoyed her experiences at Valley Veterinary Hospital and learned an immense amount about herself, the medical field, administration, all while giving back to patients and clients. She appreciated the comprehensive experience from the administrative side of the hospital and the opportunity to help with X-rays and labs. Working at Valley Vet has helped her throughout her journey, and she feels like she has grown up there. Meredith graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in psychology and is now pursuing a Global Master of Business Administration with a focus in Health Sector Management at Temple University [citation].
