HELPING NEW VETERINARIANS RISE IS OUR PASSION.

WELCOME VETS AND FUTURE VETS!
We are SO excited you are here! We are two veterinarians from VMCVM (Virginia Tech) class of 2014. Ashley chased her dream of becoming a vet since she was a little girl, and Monica is a second career vet. While we each started out on a different path (Ashley did a small animal rotating internship and Monica started in small animal general practice), we were lucky enough to end up working together at the same 24 hour hospital a year after graduation. It was at this hospital that we would continue to learn the lessons of new vets through coaching interns and externs in a GP and ER setting. This experience made us intimately familiar with the struggles we all face upon transitioning to the real world and how unprepared we were for it.
​
Though we are at a comfortable point in our careers now, we understand firsthand the daily stressors, anxiety, and concerns that new and recent graduates go through when they enter our profession.
​
We created Vets on the Rise with YOU in mind, so that we can help future generations bridge the gap between struggling recent graduate to the amazing vet you are meant to rise to become. Vets on the Rise offers books, a course, mentorship programs and more to help you succeed in the beautiful world of veterinary medicine. We are so excited you are here to join us on this journey and look forward to getting to know you in this intimate community we have created. Be sure to follow us on Insta (@vetsontherise).
We are here for you...every step of the way as you rise to your full potential as a thriving veterinarian.
