In this episode, David talks about making the change to study veterinary science after initially starting another degree. He discusses how he got into farm vetting despite having no background in the sector, and the value of having skills from other non-veterinary work—in this case, running a bar—and maintaining a flexible attitude. He shares his proud moment of representing Black British veterinary students in the USA, the importance of supportive colleagues and the need to look for opportunities when things don't go as planned.
