DVM Class of 2026

My name is Victoria Priester, and I am a veterinary student in the class of 2026 interested in wildlife health and conservation. I was introduced to this field while working at Duke Lemur Center as an undergraduate, where I was exposed to the positive impact that clinical medicine can have on critically endangered species. I also love reading and writing (I majored in English in college), and hope to be able to incorporate creative scientific communications into my career as a wildlife veterinarian. In my free time, I love being outside, trying new recipes and hanging out with my cat, Alice.
